Now, for the first time ever, Paul Dickson has put these unwritten rules down on paper, covering every situation, whether on the field or in the clubhouse, press box, or stands. The fans generally only hear about them when one is bent or broken, and it becomes news for a few days.
Sometimes they contradict the official rulebook. They represent a set of time-honored customs, rituals, and good manners that show a respect for the game, one's teammates, and one's opponents. They have no sanction from the Commissioner, appear nowhere in any official publication, and are generally not posted on any clubhouse wall.
From beanballs to basebrawls, the most important rules governing the game of baseball have never been officially written down-until now.
