The Official Baseball Rules. One would say it's the code of conduct for Major League Baseball. Of course, as a lifelong fan, I have not read the entire rulebook. Maybe I'm alone in this, but I doubt many of you have either. However, it's time for that to change today. I've watched baseball for as long as I can remember, so I always felt there was no need to sit and peruse through the ol' rulebook. But, for the sake of (hopefully) a fun concept for a video, I read through the entire MLB rulebook and picked out every rule that I found funny, interesting, weird, or worthy of discussion. Essentially, it's all the best parts of this rulebook for those curious about each and every obscure thing involving this sport.
