Can the third baseman be called for a balk like the first baseman?
Rule 8.05 makes it clear that only a pitcher's actions can result in a balk. Rule 4.03 states that all fielders -- not just the first baseman -- must have both feet in fair territory at the start of the pitch, but penalties are not specified in this rule. An umpire could issue a warning, an ejection, maybe even call a balk if the pitcher made a pitch with a fielder there. But it would STILL be a balk on the pitcher.

Can the first or third baseman have one foot in foul territory while holding on a runner?
AnswerNo, the baseman muist have both feet in the field of play while holding on a runnerThis is NOT true.4.03 When the ball is put in play at the start of, or during a game, all fielders other than the catcher shall be on fair territory....(C) Except for the pitcher and catcher, any fielder may station himself anywhere in fair territoryThe first baseman must be on fair territory when the ball is put into play. Once in play, he can setup, one foot in and one foot out, for a pick off play so long as he has one foot "in fair territory".So this means that at least 1 foot is in fair territory, and the fair/foul line is considered as in fair territory. So if a 1st baseman is holding a runner on, then they are legally "in fair territory" if one foot is on the line and one foot is in foul territory.Question: Are these last two statements true? Where is the "Approved Ruling?"True, foul lines are in fair territory at all levels of play. You quoted the OBR rule. NCAA and NFHS have similar rules.You are looking for a ruling on the first baseman playing with one foot in foul territory. Since you quoted pro rules, I'll start there.By official interpretation, a player is in fair ground only when he has both feet in fair territory. This is in the PBUC manual and the MLB umpire manual. However, both manuals go on to say that if the first baseman positions himself with one foot in foul territory, there is no penalty but the player should be instructed to position his feet properly. The PBUC also says (MLB does not contain the following statement) not to insist on the first baseman playing with both feet in fair territory unless the offensive team protests, then enforce it strictly to the rule and be sure to enforce it on both teams.Both NCAA and NFHS define a player being in fair territory as having at least one foot in contact with fair ground.

Can a bulk if third or first base man are in foul territory?
I'm going to answer the question, "Can a bAlk be called if either the first or the third baseman are in foul territory?" as well as "Can a balk be called if the runner on first or on third base are in foul territory?" A balk is called whenever the pitcher makes an illegal throw or pitch. Basically, if a pitcher moves his front foot toward a base (including home plate), it must be that base that the pitcher throws the ball towards. The location of the either the runner or the fielder is completely irrelevant to whether or not the pitcher committed a balk.
