[net.sport.baseball] no pitch complete game

	I seem to recall that a batter could reach first on a bases
empty balk. This rule may have changed recently, but you wouldn't
see it invoked much, since pitchers don't make balkish moves with
no runners on.
	Following this scenario, a pitcher might make 27 false
moves to the plate, and 27 pick-off plays to first.
	Of course this is not real man's baseball, but the last
real man who pitched was Old Hoss Radbourn in 1886.

Real man?!?  Then why did he pitch from only 45 feet from the plate?!?
