Hmmmmm ........................
My first high school game.
JV game working alone.
First batter of game singles.
Two pitches into next at-bat, pitcher steps off and feigns a throw to first.
I raise my arms and briskly move out from behind the plate and state "That's a balk !!!".
After pitcher, catcher, and home manager chew on my ample posterior, the visiting manager says "Blue, he stepped off first".
Welcome to the unreal world of umpiring.
