Resource for Pro Rules Situations
Late last night I stumbled upon another umpire website that might be useful to some of our readers. Unlike this blog, there is a forum for questions/complaints and game situations are discussed relative to professional rules. What I like most about this site is the online professional baseball rulebook. Just click on “Rules” in the left sidebar.
Check out BaseballUmpires.com by clicking here: http://baseballumpires.com/index.cfm
Remember: This site focuses its attention on pro baseball rules and situations for minor and major league baseball. For those of you that work college baseball, this may be helpful as professional rules and NCAA rules are very similar. Also, those of you around the country that work Babe Ruth baseball can benefit also. Babe Ruth uses professional rules with a small collection of its own rule differences.
The “General Questions” area in the “Forum” seems to be active enough to be a benefit for those who really enjoy talking and thinking about rules. Remember–professional rules (MLB) rule this web resource. I have also put the link to BaseballUmpires.com in the Blogroll (list of links) in the right-most sidebar below the “Blog Stats”.

Thanks, Shawn, for ferreting out this website. It is a perfect segue from high school baseball into American Legion baseball, as well. As Jaksa and Roder point out in their treatise on the Rules of Baseball, it is much easier to understand the rules of Little League, Babe Ruth, High School and Legion if we first learn and understand the Official Rules of Baseball.
Yes, I forgot about American Legion baseball which uses mostly pro rules as well with some differences and additions. Thanks Steve!
Excellent site, keep up the good work
