 The only balk is if the hurler, the pitcher, fakes a pitch, but otherwise they can do whatever they want to with the ball. And so meet the Sir. I was volunteered by our captain. Have you done it before? I've never done it. This is my first game. Oh, really? Gilbert Rojas was a player who just decided to retire. They brought him back as the Sir in attire like he's going out for the evening. Rojas is the decider of how the game will go. By the way, straight from 1886, he stands behind the hurler instead of behind home plate.
