Jinx!!!!!!

If i remember correctly the pitcher is about to throw the pitch but stops for some reason or another, usualy to try to throw a runner out.

you don't get first on a balk, balk is about screwing with the runners

pinch runner

 

[PoPPeR]

Official Rule 7.05 (h), ball thrown from the pitchers plate as a pitch or to catch a baserunner goes into the stands or dugout.

Official Rule 7.05 (i), the pitched ball misses the catcher and lodges onto the umpire's equipment (e.g. facemask).

before the rules were changed a walk off home run with a batter on counted as a single

the other way is to steal first but that only happened twice before outlawed

if the pitcher goes to his mouth while on the mound, it's a ball to the batter and counts as a balk. You'd need to have 3 balls on you to take the bag, but I'm pretty sure that goes in the walk department.
