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: Dead Ball, Defense/Defensive, Double-Header, Double Play, Dugout
Dead Ball – a ball out of play because of a legally created temporary suspension of the game.
Defense/Defensive – the team or any player of the team, in the field
Double-Header – two regularly scheduled or rescheduled games, played in immediate succession.
Double Play – a play by the defense in which two offensive players are put out as a result of continuous action, providing there is no error between putouts.
Dugout/Bench – the seating facilities reserved for players, substitutes and other team members in uniform when they are not actually engaged on the playing field.
