I had a good one the other day; situation was runner on 2nd, pitcher comes to a set position and starts his delivery stops and starts again HP umpire ansd I (BU) call BALk pitcher delivers the ball, hitter hits a Home Run. We (the umpires watch him round the bases adn touch each one. As he does the defensive coach starts yelling that was a balk, I call the home plate ump over and tell him we have a delayed dead ball and have to ask the offensive coach if he wants the balk or home run, he took the HR . BIG DISCUSSION, we called two run homer.
