Speaking of the dead ball balk rule. I had to enforce the catcher's balk of all things the other day. The catcher moved up and over so much before the pitcher even started his delivery it was patethic. I gave him a warning. He did it again about two batters later and I balked him. He was so far out and over he was in the next batter's box. A few innings later he moved real far over, but the pitch was right over the plate, and the batter smoked it over the left centerfield fence. Glad I decided to let it go that time.

THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS A CATCHER'S BALK!!!
Only the pitcher balks. Period.
