Suggested penalties for a hit batsman:

First time (either team): Batter gets first base; other runners
advanced only if forced.

Second time (either team): Batter gets second base; all runners get
two bases, whether forced or not.

Third time (either team): Batter gets third base; all runners score.

Fourth time (either team): Batter gets "home run;" all runner score.

In addition:

Second time by same pitcher: Pitcher is ejected.
Third time by same team: Manager is ejected.

The second DELIBERATE beanball by the same team is cause for
forfeiture (maybe even the first).

In all cases, the league can impose whatever fines and suspensions
seem appropriate (within some range).

Comments?
