From the Old Guy

Well Kevin, Evans agrees with me so it must be current today.

Tuss gave a lot of good information but none of them are a balk "to" second base. Not sure what makes it silly as it is correct in all concepts.

I even asked Ken Burns

You want to go face-to-face with me one day just give me the invite.

Question - I had a sitch a couple of years ago. I did not call a balk (major brain freeze), although I think I should have. Runner on 2nd only. RHP. He turns his shoulders - well jerks them (left shoulder toward first, counterclockwise rotation) as to start a turn toward 2B. His feet never moved, he did not step toward 2B. Rules say you have to step toward the base (in contact with the rubber) on a feint.

Would this be a balk? I assume since he didn't make the step it still doesn't qualify as a balk "toward" 2B.
