Yep, Garth . . .
As we all know these examples are related to live ball situations.
This thread started with a simple issue:
After a dead ball is it possible to have a hidden ball trick?
The answer is elementary:
No, as it is impossible to make a ball live without the proper procedure. It is impossible to have a balk with a dead ball and the ball cannot be placed into live action without proper steps.
This simply gives us one of the TWO examples of "do overs" in baseball.
I don't think people "don't get it," I just think they want to swim upstream against authoritive opinion.
And Peter, we know you hit my response square on the head. A Home run!
