Okay, I'll chime in.

Unless there is an inflection in the voice at a time or changing the lyrics which may be distractive toward the batter, or if it is loud enough for others to hear, it's nothing.

Hell, I've been known to break out in Jingle Bells on some pretty hot days.

If a batter tugs at their crotch when getting set and the catcher says that is a distraction to her, are you going to tell the batter they can no longer do that? If someone complains that a coach referred to a youth player as "girlfriend" (as in "you go, girlfriend" and I have witnessed this), are you going to tell the coach what they can say and cannot say?

Give me a break and don't tell me that they are "only young girls". That's one of the reasons you let them have fun, not be overofficious or politically correct. If a coach has to worry about something so trivial to win a game, maybe he, and his players, are in over their head.
