Being easy on the other team wouldn’t humiliate them?
Old Time baseball pitcher Rube Waddell enjoyed waving his teammates off the field and then striking out the side. He actually did so only in exhibition games, since the rules prohibit playing with fewer than nine men on the field in regulation play. But in a league game in Detroit, Waddell actually had his outfielders come in close and sit down on the grass to watch him strike out the side.
Probably slightly humiliating for the other team.
