[QUOTE="Lee, post: 771542, member: 786"] That’s the issue, stealing signs isn’t considered cheating. Everyone does it. Now what the Astros (and several other teams) did was cheating. They used a live camera to relay with nobody on 2nd and the catcher was only using one sign. When I played at GT we had a guy who would just study the coach relaying signs to the catcher to give our hitters anadvantage. He played some, but spent most of his time “cracking the code” of the opposing coach. So did every team we played against. That didn’t stop at the professional level. Everytime someone gets on 2nd base, you have to change what sign you use. Watch a big league game now. Most mound visits from a catcher happen with a guy on 2nd. I agree with your premise on cheating and will raise my kids the same way, but this doesn’t apply in my opinion. And in general, that way of thinking is going out the window. I played with and against a bunch of guys who used steroids, hgh, or even aderol (sp) to gain an advantage. Many of them have made some good money playing because of it. Sometimes money and fame are more important than integrity in our society now. It’s sad but true. [/QUOTE]
