In Baseball, sign stealing and attempted sign stealing is as old as the sport itself. There are three main sign stealing categories in Baseball.
1) successfully stealing AND concealing.
2) successful stealing AND getting caught.
3) unsuccessful sign stealing. Caught or not.

Sure.

Who could forget, Ty Cobb, Babe Ruth and Willie Mays using TV cameras, monitors and wireless buzzers.

Right?

Of course not.

There are legal ways to steal signs that are as old as the sport itself and there are illegal ways used by the cheating Astros and Red Sox to steal sign in the last three years.

Using electronics, including television cameras, is not allowed. The Red Sox had previously been caught using a cell phone in the bullpen to relay signs, years ago.
