That one is mostly an umpire problem. Has anyone actually awarded the "ball"?

Well, you should know by now as anal as I am, yes I have awarded a ball to batters. However, this happens only when I tell the catcher to get rid of the ball, call for the batter and bend over to brush the plate. It wasn't as if there was no warning that the permissible warm-ups were complete.
