Cheating in baseball is sneaky and is rarely seen other then a few incidents every year. But I want to dive into this topic, how prevalent is cheating in baseball? From corked bats to pine tar under the pitchers hat how often do players cheat? “There is a culture of deception in this game. It’s been in this game for 100 years. I do not look at this in terms of ethics. It’s the culture of the game.” Andy MacPhail former Cubs president and now part of the Phillies organization explains. On every given day of the MLB season there is cheating, it could be as simple as stealing signs, looking at the catchers call, or it could come from too much pine tar like George Brett back in the day to even using Vaseline, pine tar or sandpaper to get a grip on the ball. This topic interests me because as a baseball fan I'd like to find out more and dive deeper into what is cheating and what is "just part of the game".
