"I have seen American Legion teams doing similar chants."

And I have stopped American Legion Teams that were performing that same type of monotone chanting. You can say want you want, if it is such an important part of the game then why dont they chant when their pitcher is on the mound. No, because they know how disturbing it can be . I also will not allow it, if it is in a manner that I feel is attempting to entice the pitcher to balk.

This may be acceptable in softball but I agree there is no way Im letting it go on in my basball games. Cheering is one thing. Playing within the rules is another.

How many balks are called in softball? And herein lies the problem. Im sorry, I dont subscribe to the theory that every game should be played with football mentallity. especiality the game of baseball.
