Another sore loser NY team gets their league officials to conduct a kangaroo court proceeding against a superior Boston opponent. Nothing new here.

Well its king of cheating but in baseball sign stealing is just as big part of the game and every team does it, from Little League to the Majors. Its one of the things that make Baseball great fun.

At this point, I don't think the concept of "cheating" can any longer be fairly applied to professional sports. This article shows how widespread sign-stealing is, and still only covers the times teams have been caught!

This is a game in which "stealing" bases -- basically, running when the other guy is not looking -- is celebrated. Now we are told that's not the only thing they ALL steal -- they steal signs too. Apparently, some, like the Sox, do it in a fancier way.

It's unfortunate any team is deemed as cheaters despite their record good or bad. With that said in the world of sports cheating exists on all levels and in good and bad organizations. New York fans rejoice when Boston/New England teams are 'caught' doing something many teams do. This situation, Spy gate, as well deflated football's are all examples of rampant 'cheating' that is not seldom to Boston or New England teams. It's against the rules but everyone does it, like many things in this country.
