Warren,

You might recall that I posted on UT about one I had a couple of years ago.

One play. Bases loaded, offense initiats squeeze play.
I (PU) called a catcher's balk as F2 stands up and steps on the plate(7.07), FU then called a balk on F1 who started and stopped his arm movement(8.05(a)) as F2 withdraws from plate, F1 delivered pitch, and F2 bumps batters bat as he reaches in front of the plate to cut off pitch and tag runer, therefore catcher's interference(6.08(c)).

The defensive coach was still shaking his head and studying his rule book after the game.
