You're the Umpire: 152 Scenarios to Test Your Baseball

You're the Umpire: 152 Scenarios to Test Your Baseball Knowledge

Do you think you have what it takes to be a Major League umpire? Well, now you can test your knowledge of the game with Wayne Stewartâ€™s Youâ€™re the Umpire.

Divided into four sections, this unusual handbook, now in its second edition, offers "Routine Calls," which deal with scenarios and rules that typically come up in games and deal with clear cut rulesâ€”fair and foul, strike zone questions, and the like. The next section, "Basic Situations," deals with umpiring matters and rules that are just a bit more unusual or, for the casual fan, obscure. Interference and obstruction calls, for example, donâ€™t come up too often, but they remain standard stuff involving rules that umps and many fans know quite well. In the next section, "Obscure Rules and Situations," you will be presented with what many baseball people call â€œknottyâ€ problems. Here, you will be asked questions involving the complex infield fly rule and other arcane matters. Finally, you will be challenged with a new bonus section.

Most of the situations in Youâ€™re the Umpire come from real games, but some scenarios are made up to illustrate specific points or rules. Test yourself against your friends or against the famously iconic baseball rulebook. Itâ€™s a challenge and itâ€™s fun.
