dead ball balk?

[Tim C]

As we all know these examples are related to live ball situations.

This thread started with a simple issue:

After a dead ball is it possible to have a hidden ball trick?

The answer is elementary:

No, as it is impossible to make a ball live without the proper procedure. It is impossible to have a balk with a dead ball and the ball cannot be placed into live action without proper steps.

This simply gives us one of the TWO examples of "do overs" in baseball.

I don't think people "don't get it," I just think they want to swim upstream against authoritive opinion.

And Peter, we know you hit my response square on the head. A Home run!
