Was a run ever scored that went unnoticed by everyone on both teams--and the official scorer, too? Can a runner from first base be tagged out stealing second when the batter is walked? Fans of the Great American Pastime want to know! This second edition of Baseball Brain Teasers features 60 challenging rules situations that occurred in real-life Major League games, with each incident broken into three parts. First comes the problem, with all the basic details; then a description of the actual game where the play happened; and finally an explanation of the correct call. Readers can just enjoy the entertaining stories--or the baseball-savvy can test their knowledge and see if they're smarter than the professionals who were actually involved.

Presents puzzling or ambiguous baseball questions derived from real events, such as "Can two pitchers be in the same team's lineup at the same time?" and gives the answers based on the rule book.

The challenging puzzlers presented here will have you playing armchair manager or umpire; reading about strange, unusual, and trick plays; and matching up quotes with the people who originated them.
