We had a situation here in Colorado where an umpire nullified a grand slam because players came out on the field to congratualate the HR hitter before he touched home. The umpire nullified the score because he said that they can't assist a runner as he is rounding the bases. I guess he almost started a riot by his literal interpretation of the rules. Our area supervisor suggested that common sense should always prevail. Give the guy a homerun and a victory despite what the rules says unless you want to cause a riot.
