If there is a runner at first base and the first baseman is not stationed at the base, should the pitcher throw the ball to the first baseman in a pickoff attempt there is no way the runner could be putout since the runner must be tagged to be putout on a pickoff attempt. There is no specific rule in the MLB rule book that covers calling a balk when a pitcher throws to first base in a pickoff attempt with the first baseman not stationed at the base. However ...
Rule 8.02(c) states that a pitcher shall not "Intentionally delay the game by throwing the ball to players, other than the catcher, when the batter is in position, except in an attempt to retire a runner". The penalty for this is a warning for the first offense and ejection for any subsequent offense. And there is Rule 8.05(h) which states that a balk shall be called if "the pitcher unnecessarily delays the game".
The pitcher attempted the pickoff, in all probability, not intentionally but due to miscommunication between him and the first baseman. Therefore, Rule 8.02(c) would not apply because the delay was not intentional but Rule 8.05(h) would apply because the delay was unnecessary.
Do players of baseball hold out?
No. Baseball contracts are two-way deals that are guaranteed on both management and a player's behalf. In other sports, contracts are not guaranteed, and the player can be cut at any time. The player on the other hand cannot void his deal. Therefore his only option for getting a better deal is to use a hold-out to pressure management into giving it to him.
According to the collector's price guide, "Team Baseballs," your ball is worth between $350-600, with value being greater or lower depending on players present - in particular, the inclusion or exclusion of Mantle, Maris and Stengel - plus the all-important overall condition of the ball and autographs. Other key factors include type of ball (is it an "Official American League" ball?), whether there are any "clubhouse signatures" (autographs signed by ballboys, attendants, etc), and number of signatures present. The authenticity of the key signatures, especially Mantle & Maris, are of particular importance. These factors are the main variables in determining value. == Feel free to contact me at stockyard2000@aol.com with additional questions regarding this ball or any vintage sports memorabilia. I've seriously collected baseball memorabilia for 30+ years and am always interested in nice items and "finds." I'd like to know more about this ball.
