Picking from Windup Position

[Jerry]

Doug,
As much as I respect your father's interpretations, I don't believe you've read this post completely.

It was specific that F1 raised his non-pivot foot and immediately stepped towards 1st base on the attempt; gaining both distance and direction.

I also believe the originator is confused between FED and OBR rules. In FED, any attempt on a pickoff from the Windup Position is a balk; not so for OBR (and by adoption; Babe Ruth).

P.S. How's your dad doing? Haven't heard from Papa in a while.
