It's amazing that baseball is really one of the only sports where cheating happens all the time. People steal signs, scuff up the ball, cork their bats... and while getting caught gets you in trouble, nobody really seems to care.Keep on Civin'

Hey, it's part of the game! Cheat, but don't get caught... the American way.

It used to be fun watching the Umps search Gaylord Perry. Everybody in the stands knew he was loading up the ball, and the ump never seemed to be able to find the gel

Bats have to be all wood, because a corked bat increases bat speed (allowing you to hit the ball harder). One reason is because it's unfair to have this edge. Another is that it might be dangerous to the pitcher.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
