Someone pointed me to your post about our book Baseball Field Guide (and it wasn’t Sean). Thanks for the review !! This new edition has been out for just a few weeks. We’re hoping to get some blog reviews / word-of-mouth / viral marketing action going – so we really appreciate your mention of it. The book was a labor-of-love (or maybe I should say obsession).

For the “League Presidents” term – don’t shoot, we’re just the messengers. MLB’s newly revised official rule book refers to league presidents multiple times. The league president references are maintained because they still exist in the NAPBL (a.k.a – the minors). MLB rules cover major and minor leagues. But it’s a good topic that we can mention and clarify on our website. And maybe we can add a footnote in future editions.

And, yep – the typeface is DIN!!

Steve Stone- “Sitting in the dugout, bottom of the ninth with a 4-3 lead, Tippy Martinez comes in to close…Loads the bases with 2 outs…3-0 count to the batter. I’m thinking he’s not gonna throw 3 strikes before another ball. I’m not going to get the win. Then strike 1…strike 2… Out of the corner of my eye i see Eddie take his glove off at first base. They wouldn’t… then Tippy made a move to 1st and Rickey Henderson hasnt moved to this day. Eddie takes a step over and tags him on the chest for the 3rd out, and I got my 21st win of the season.

Awesome. That and much more.
