Then you and your player(s) are idiots. You are also criminals. You and your players would be ejected and if I thought it was intentional, I would volunteer my time to be a witness for the first baseman at the civil trial where he takes away your house.

Other than that it is just a stupid play. Of course, this is just a very frank opinion.

Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!

I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.

Thus the average night for a slow-pitch umpire doing rec leagues.
