You want to SCREAM: “KILL THE UMPIRE!!”Now, SHOULD you? Well, of course you shouldn’t kill the umpire—that would be murder. But should you WANT to?Not NEARLY as often as you think!mBaseball rules literacy (BRL) is poor even among fans, andmworse among parents who are only at the ballpark because Johnny’s too young to drive. That’s because baseball rulebooks are BORING. The “Kill the Umpire” Handbook: 101 Questions You’d Like to Ask the Umpire is anything but. Patrick Sullivan umpired at every level of amateur baseball, from T-ball to college, for over 40 years. He’s heard a lotof talk on, or from, the far side of the backstop. The “Kill the Umpire” Handbook is based on actual conversations with fans away from the ballpark, questions heard through the fence, and fans heard talking to each other who sound as wise as owls but whose actual BRL isn’t worth a hoot. In the years since his first draft, every single baseball call that generated controversy in media or online is something you would have already known the right and wrong of…if you had read this book!And yes: you will GET the Infield Fly Rule!
