Bob I agree but that is the "old way". Unfortunately in today's climate depending upon the teams involved (especially rival teams) we have to put a stop to it.
Pretty soon amateur baseball will start to resemble a golf tournament where by a coach will say "hey Blue he is breathing to loud can you do something"
Things like "Hey batter", hand clapping etc. didn't fase me. As you say once the other team knows that this type of "stuff" does not effect you and you start mowing them down batter after batter, it will stop.
What happened to what was a great game.
