Just round the bases and dispense with the theatrics, you little twerp.

Kids are sponges. They learn from their elders who’ve made it to The Show. For instance, a Little Leaguer stands at home plate, admiring the round-tripper he’s just hit, lingering for an annoyingly long time before commencing to run the bases.

Just run the bases! Enjoy the applause and cheers as you round them, and get to the dugout to receive the accolades of your teammates. Don’t be a hot dog and loiter in the box.

Maybe umps should be able to throw flags and erase the run(s) on the basis of the batter being a jerk.
