I read this book several years ago and thoroughly enjoyed Nemec's explanation of each rule, the reasons and implications, and countless quirky stories in which rules were pushed to their limits in major league games.

First words
Seemingly it would be safe to assume that the winner of a baseball game has always been the team that scored the most runs at the end of nine innings; but actually the 1857 season was the first in which a game was required to go nine innings, with five innings constituting an official contest if play were stopped for some reason.
