| BASEBALL ETIQUETTE |
|
1. Wear your club baseball uniform correctly. Take pride in
your presentation and the image of the sport.
2. Do not ‘steal bases’ after being 10 runs ahead. Advance
on a batted or played ball. Do not embarrass your fellow
opponent.
3. Pitchers and catcher should always apologise to the
opposition player on a hit pitch ball or collision.
4. Do not lift your team by criticising the opposition, always
talk up positive remarks to your own players.
5. Do not excel or acclaim failures, always praise good plays
from all players.
6. Always respect and thank the opposition, umpires and
scorers after a game.
7. Never use the infield of a baseball diamond to warm up
before a game. Use it only for pre-game fielding drills.
8. When making player position and substitute changes
always inform the Chief Umpire first.
9. During a game, players and coaches should only engage
in conversations with their own bench. Do not engage in
discussions with the opposition or public.
10.Take ‘cheap outs’ out of your game. Respect a good
return to a base on a pick off or a slide into a base. Do
not keep
holding on to the player. |
