Like I said earlier I personally got called for it as a runner in baseball without any contact. I would try to make the first baseman flinch, and the umps, we had the same crew all summer at home, knew it too and called me a few times on it. I think it never really worked, and I was out anyway the 3-4 times they called it, they just wanted to send a message for me to cool it.

I understand. Having played first base for 20 some years, there were prolly 3 guys that I remember trying that. Twice it was my ankle which was away from the bag cuz I always held the edge. Umps never said anything, but I did.
