From the MLBUM:
It is NOT a balk for the pitcher, while in contact with the rubber, to throw to an unoccupied base IF it is for the purpose of making an appeal play. (Note that the pitcher does not have to step back off the rubber to make an appeal play.)
Haven't seen the video.
Now either AH blew it, or called it for some other reason, such as Pettitte's foot passed behind the rubber.
Why is it that AH's name comes up so often on apparently botched calls?
