Officially, this year fans will be correct.
No more fake pickoff throw to third & then turn around & go to 1st. It's now officially a balk.

The only time in my entire baseball career that I got picked off of first was via that play. I did stay alive long enough in the rundown to have the guy at 3rd score (there were two outs when I was picked) so that was a plus, but still...

Was that back in the "dead ball" era?

Wouldn't it be something to see a line across the mound stating for a lefty if you want to make a move it has to be behind that line.

Has anyone seen a righty with a similar move to third? It's much more risky since a mistake likely results in a run, but some guys have more guts than others.
