"IOW this was pointless."

The fact that the batter has to even circle the bases after a fence-clearing homerun is pointless.

The circling the bases is apparently put down on the runners stat sheet. She did not earn those bases, she only earned the single first base.

It should not be entered into her stat sheet because she did not “take her earned bases”. They might as well have brought out a golf cart and drove her around the bases.

But this gives the hippies a 1960’s feeeeeeeling of faaaaairness. Perhaps next game they should just stop scoring altogether to avoid more risk of hurt feeeeeelings.
