Again, baseball is a team game, and holding a grudge against another player and putting yourself before the team is not a positive or winning attitude. Don t be afraid to chatter. Shout out words of encouragement to your pitcher when you are out in the field and to your teammates when they are batting. A Player's Relationship With Opposing Players Don t talk trash. There is no place in the game of baseball for verbal taunting of players, regardless of the situation.
Fighting is unacceptable in baseball.
In addition to the potential for injury it causes to yourself and others, it sets a poor example and can often result in ejection from the game. Don t show up the pitcher on a home run hit over the fence. Always let a runner know if a ball has been hit foul. Baiting a runner into sliding into a base on a foul ball serves no practical purpose and delays the game. Never look back and steal the catcher s signs when you are batting.
