Re: A stupid Brit baseball question
That's as silly as saying intentionally walking Bonds in the first place is "unsportsmanlike".
No, it's not. If a batter intentionally swung at an intentional ball four, there's be some serious beef. The next pitch would most likely be a bit high, a bit fast, and a bit inside. Benches would clear and players would be pissed, and rightly so. Nobody with any baseball experience would consider intentionally whiffing at one in that situation.
