Had a fun one Sunday afternoon. Two teams who went through a balk-fest in a prior game, one of which who had a pitcher who stepped off the rubber TOWARDS home plate, exactly what this thread was about.

We were warned before-hand about the prior game, the coaches. During pregame, everything was made clear between PU and myself. We agreed we would 'balk early and often', to take control of the game right at the start. We called one "no stop" balk on each team (these are 11 year olds) and didn't hear a peep about anything for the rest of the game. In fact, the game went very quickly because it seemed both teams were afraid to throw over to first for fear of balking again!
