…the National League baseball rules in place during the 1908 season?
I’m trying to figure out something related to a particular game. Access to a digital copy of the 1908 rulebook would be extremely helpful.
Thanks, in advance, for any assistance you can give. I appreciate it.

I appreciate the link; however, it led me to a different guide. The linked publication was:
Official guide of the National association of professional base ball leagues for 1901-1904
I'm looking for the rules in place for 1908. Shall I presume A.G. Spalding published a guide for '08 as well?

Excellent. The “Crazy ‘08” book has recaptured my attention. This will help tremendously as I attempt to take a deeper dive into that spectacular season.
Thank you.

Eric,
Great book! I usually pass on the books I read to others, but there are a few keepers. This is one of them. Good luck with your research!
