From the 2006 book, The Official Rules of Baseball Illustrated, by David Nemec, I will present Rule 2 of the Code - the definitions of baseball terms - over the course of the 2012 baseball season. Today’s terms are: Called Game, Catch, Catcher, Catcher’s Box, Club, Coach.
Called Game – one in which, for any reason, the umpire-in-chief terminates play.
Catch – the act of a fielder in getting secure possession in her hand or glove of a ball in flight and firmly holding it; providing she does not use her cap, protector, pocket or any other part of her uniform in getting possession.
Catcher – the fielder who takes the position back of the home base.
Catcher’s Box – that area within which the catcher shall stand until the pitcher delivers the ball.
Club – a person or a group of persons responsible for assembling the team personnel, providing the playing field and required facilities, and representing the team in relations with the league.
Coach – a team member in uniform appointed by the manager to perform such duties as the manager may designate, such as but not limited to acting as base coach.
