Obviously, you look at stealing the catcher's signs, and relaying the pitch to the hitter. Every team in the league tries to steal signs, it's part of the game. Several teams have been accused of using video equipment in their home parks to see the catcher...that's where the line is crossed. If a runner on second can see the signs a catcher is putting down (ie - guy in the booth with binoculars), then it's the catcher's dumb fault for being easy to read. But if the team is using a camera in centerfield (ie - camera on the sideline) to see the signs, that's taking it too far. In the end, the result is similar - the hitting team steals the sign and relays it to the batter; but it's the method through which it's done that is questionable.
Watching you parse this to death has been pure comedy.Your team is a bunch of cheaters and all their wins are now suspect and their dynasty reputation is gone forever.Deal with it.All these analogys on why it wasnt that bad or how all sport teams do it in some way is pathetic.
See You In Toledo
