Giants Catcher called for a balk

It wasn't a balk, the TV announcers didn't understand what the call initially was so they said maybe it was a balk but that's not what the umps called. It's just the rule about not intentionally using any part of your uniform to touch the ball, not really a specific name for that call.

    I've never heard of a Catcher called for a balk in the zillion baseball games I've seen in my lifetime but i guess it is a thing. Interesting.

    I remember Piazza getting called for one back in 2000(?) and Bobby V coming back with a fake mustache.
