"THAT wasn't a home run!" contested Cameron, the pitcher.
"It WAS a home run!" replied Matthew.
"Was NOT!"
Here I jumped in. "Boys, stop arguing. If Matthew wants it to be a home run, just let it be a home run. Cameron, when you are the batter you can decide if you get a home run."
This may seem an odd solution but, you see, there was no bat or ball involved here. Matthew loves baseball (and all sports) so much that he plays imaginary baseball in the house. "Pitch it, pitch it!" he'll implore as he stands in the kitchen, imaginary bat on his shoulder.
The pitcher must then wind up and pitch the imaginary ball. Matthew swings his imaginary bat and then the players watch the imaginary ball sail out off the imaginary ball park.
It's very exciting. But I gotta tell you, it is really tough to call a ball or a strike in an imaginary ball game.

Kids! Who else could argue about how far an unseen ball when flying? Gotta luv 'em.
Your ruling seems like a pretty good solution. :) Also, your boys, especially playing baseball playing baseball = too adorable.
