I'm also a catcher and I was called for a catchers balkabout 1 1/2 years ago playing Babe Ruth 16-19 year old baseball. This particular umpire was notorious for being strict so I got tossed for telling him that he was full of it. I also saw it called in a Braves-Cardinals game two years ago. Javy Lopez's foot was on the line of the catcher's box and he was called for a catcher's balk. Bobby Cox came out and argued and managed to stay in the game. Later in the game, Lopez got called again and he and Bobby got early showers. I still don't understand the rule...
