In American Football, hitting another player with the top of your helmet used to be called spearing but is now called "targeting with the crown of your helmet".
It is a 15 yard penalty if committed by an offensive player and a 15 yards / automatic 1st down if called against a defensive player. The yards are added to the end of the play if called against a defensive player.

Can a batter remove his helmet as he is rounding 3rd base after hitting a home run over the fence in a highschool game?
the only time a runner can remove his helmet is in the event that the helmet has impaired the runners vision. in that case the umpires would have the decision of the removal being within regulations or not. if it is not then the runner would automatically be out.Another answer: In MLB, there is no rule prohibiting player from removing his helmet. However, rules in other leagues (college, high school, youth, etc.) may have such a rule. Consult your organizations rule book.
