"Do you think these intimidate new players of those games? (I assume you mean intimidate to the point of discouraging them from learning the game.)"

I think that they do in fact discourage new fans of baseball. Try and explain to someone how basketball or soccer work. A couple minutes gives the basic idea. Now try that for baseball.

"All three of the rulebooks I mention above fit into a jacket/coat pocket. I will be very surprised if the guide Phil talks about will be nearly as voluminous as those"

Do you really have the "full" rules? There are interpretations guidelines for umpires I think and that is in line with what Phil wants.
