    I never felt a man on 2nd looking in at the Catchers fingers, or even a hitter peeking in on a C, was a foul. Imo- that much (only) has always been a simpler part of the game, for those who feel the need to get a one up with such off handed tactics, other than pure power mano e mano.....

    the Patsies and Bosox have disgraced there sports.

    Today's methods of cheating perverts the game, and is beyond any old school method to get an (off handed) hand up.... which again, was simply a lucky attempt to "try" to steal a signal.

    My point, what would Tony Gywnn, Rod Carew (and other great hitters) ever need a stolen signal for. They could see the spin on a ball and know what they were getting before the ball ever arrived, and often where it was going as a result...
    ntm- simply getting to know the Pitcher's habits, could often result in knowing a breaking ball from a fastball. Same with Ricky, imo, he didn't need to know what signals were, he picked that much up reading the Pitcher...his elbow, his feet, et al...

    When I heard Dombrowski with his comments on that issue I lost a lot of respect. Up to that moment I had always viewed him as an articulate intelligent man. Farrell & Pedroia, nothing surprises me about those two.

    Red sox fined a large amount by commiss and yanks fined a small amount not for anything from yes network but for something to do with their dugout phone over a year ago. Nice reach commish to placate the boston cheaters
