The Childress Baseball Library


Here are 12 baseball articles that first appeared in various other venues. Officiating.com has given me permission to store them at this site (http://childress.officiating.com). They are free to everyone. Additionally, I have included two articles on working the plate using the Gerry Davis system. They first appeared for subscribers only. Download them and use them for your association, if you like. Please leave the Officiating.com logo and my name attached. The files are all in PDF format. If you don't have Adobe or Acrobat Reader, go to http://adobe.com and download their reader. Like the articles, it's free. Enjoy. If you want to discuss anything about these pieces, email me at carlchildress@rightsports.com. I answer all email.
