Team leaving dugout to congratulate batter for home run over fence

One sure way to get the offensive coach pissed is to warn his team for excessive HR celebration at the college or high school level. After a HR what I see most often is offensive players coming into the area around home plate. Occasionally there are bruised catcher feelings or a pitcher lingering around after giving up a bomb which poses a potential problem.

By rule the plate umpire is to keep the dugout out of the home plate area after a HR. I tend to avoid this confrontation unless I feel there are problems in the works.
