Cheating is not part of the game. From juice to emery boards, to loaded bates to pine tar.

Since this magic dirt was on his hands in every game he has played post season, we should then see this magic dirt return if there is nothing illegal about it.

We all know how "superstitious" ball players are. They don't like to change their routine.

Oh honestly. Deception and psychological ploys have been part of the game since the game began. Maybe we should enact some "morality" rules that prevent a batter from faking a bunt (or vice versa), or prevent a pitcher from hiding the ball in his glove, or prevent a base stealer from walking off a lead, or prevent base stealing for crying out loud. What an outrage that is.

You never played, did you?
