However, will someone explain why they are allowed to come out of the dugouts en mass to greet everyone who is coming home to score? Maybe allow it with a home run out of the park? Even then I suspect the plate umpire must be at least mildly annoyed by it. Forces them to actually look through the crowd at the plate to make sure the hitter has touched the plate. I'd think at this level of play that there would be a little more professionalism. Reaction?
PS--I worked D-2, D-3, and JUCO ball back in the day and do not remember those games being that way.
Let's remember it is a game and it is suppose to be fun and not about us. Let them have the noise and enjoy the momment.
