The Book of Unwritten Baseball Rules

Reprinted From:
Baseball Almanac


We have a lot of discussion on the boards about our young players learning the basics and fundamentals of the game. How about these ageless baseball maxims? -- They were true 100 years ago and they stand the test of time today. -- Share these with your favorite high school player today.
