My naive child. Let me tell you a story. Back in the day when men played baseball the players policed themselves. You plunck my guy I plunck your guy now we're even and we play on. Rarely if ever did anyone charge the mound unless of course you went head hunting which rarely happened. Pitchers could even pitch inside without warnings being issued or players charging the mound. Batters didn't wear armor at the plate nor did they hang over the plate lest they get "brushed back". Hell Ron Santo spent his whole career on his butt because he got brushed back after Banks hit a homer. I never saw him him charge the mound. He would dust himself off get back in the box and they would play on.
