Balk on appeal
Sorry to ask but I do not have access to a rule or case book.
Situation - Runner on 3rd. PU puts ball in play. Pitcher attempts to appeal runner leaving to soon on previous live ball sit. He balks. Runner on third is now awarded home. Is the appeal still valid? It didn't matter in this sit because the runner did not leave early BUT... had the runner left early, and the pitcher balked on the appeal. Is the appeal still valid.
I ask mainly for Fed rule but appreciate all rule interps. Thanks in advance.
