Okay, let's take this to an extreme. Tie game in the bottom of the last inning. A guy is issued a walk - intentional or not. He trots down to first, defense is oblivious to the fact that he walks over to the coach and gives him his batting gloves. He then strides into fair terrirtory and assumes a short lead off. Again, the defense has never witnessed that HE NEVER TOUCHED FIRST BASE. The bases are now loaded and the pitcher gets ready for delivery. Here we go:
1) BALK!
2) Wild pitch and the winning run scores from third.
Okay, Blue what have you got?
