A letter is on its way to MLB asking for a rules interpretation
on this.  Also, I have asked the question regarding the catcher's
balk that came up --
 
The question I asked 
 
Rule 4.03(a) says -
 
"Some have told me that the 'catcher's balk' rule only applies
when an intentional walk is being given, and the catcher steps
out of the box.  I thought I saw a catcher's balk called int he
late 1970s in a Red Sox game in which the catcher left the box
without the ball so as to fool a baserunner or bluff him back.
 
Is any violation of position without the ball a catcher's balk,
or only a balk during an intentional walk situation?  The rule
is vague on this, but MLB should know."
 
MLB is very good, albeit slow, in answering inquiries like this.
