The only time I don't give a major league punch out is when the kid is one of those who never gets a hit, never makes contact, not very athletic little kids that bat last, and get to play 2 innings per game by rule. You know, the one everyone in the stands roots for to get his or her first hit of the year half-way through the season?

When he or she takes one right down Broadway, I just say "strike 3," and give a basic hammer. The kid has enough to deal with without having a mean old umpire embarass him or her further.
