Is Stealing Signs In Baseball Cheating?
In a recent game between the Detroit Tigers and the Minnesota Twins, Twin’s catcher Joe Mauer was shown by Fox Sports footage signaling to the batter what pitch the Tiger’s pitcher was about to throw. I am not sure why this particular instance of sign-stealing has gotten so much attention other than the fact that it was so clearly obvious what was happening.
I don’t know about you, but I have absolutely no problem with this whatsoever. I would even say that Joe Mauer would not be doing his job if he didn’t signal to the batter what pitch was coming if he knew. I mean, why wouldn’t you? Every one on the baseball field knew what was happening. The opposing catcher even changed the signs several times to mix Mauer up.
Sign-stealing in baseball is taught at a very young age and is nothing more than a basic element of the game. Of course, in baseball there are some things you just don’t do.
1) You don’t reach into the 1st baseman’s glove and knock the ball out when he is trying to tag you. (Alex Rodriguez)
2) You don’t tip pitches to the opposing batter just because he is your friend or is from the same country. (Alex Rodriguez)
3. And you don’t yell ‘Got it’ as you are rounding third base and the opposing infielders are trying to catch the ball. (Alex Rodriguez)
Did anyone else notice that Alex Rodriguez has been accused of all 3 examples that immediately came to my mind when thinking about things you don’t do in baseball?
