In 50 seasons of umpiring I have never seen an experienced umpire call a balk on a move to second. In fact...

IIITOTSB!

Feint, no step ---> balk.

Carl and Garth,
I see said the blind carpenter as he picked up his hammer and saw.
He stepped when he spun. I was thinkin' it coulda been a right-hander upper body turn/twist/feint thingy.
Couldn't see that from U.P. here.
Thanks,
mick




Yes, jicecone, it is impossible....
