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

Oh good lord. Give me a break. There are RULES in the game. Hiding the ball, faking a bunt, even dropping an infield fly to try to get a double up because an ump failed to call it. It's all part of the "game" But when loaded bats are used, pitching aids, juice, whatever is BANNED is then called CHEATING.
Yeah, I'm the only guy in the state of Missouri that never played ball.
Didn't they accuse Candy Cummings of cheating when he unveiled the first curveball?
