The Infield Fly Rule is the most misunderstood rule in baseball and perhaps in all of sports. That also makes it the most infamous. Drawing on interviews with experts, legal arguments and a study of every infield fly play in eight Major League seasons, this book tells the complete story of the rule. The author covers the rule's history from the 19th century to the modern game, its underlying logic and supporting arguments, recent criticisms and calls for repeal, the controversies and confusion it creates, and its effect on how the game is played.
Howard M. Wasserman is a professor of law at Florida International University College of Law. He writes about sports rules, the role of free expression in sports for fans and athletes, and federal civil rights litigation. He lives in Miami, Florida.
