If the pitcher would have sneezed we would had seen a balk I'm sure. But then again I'm from Baltimore & we hate Yanks.

Wrong comparison imo. A balk is more comparable to a violation in basketball, like stepping on a boundary line, traveling, etc. We don't "no harm/no foul" or "advantage/disadvantage" those and never have.

Traveling??? Have you ever seen an NBA game.
