In his situation, you'd have done the same thing he did, I'm sure.............or took an ass chewing from your manager.

Yeah, it was a tongue-in-cheek given that the other ways that I'm not like Derek Jeter involve hitting, fielding, running, et cetera. No need to be so prickly dude.
This is obviously not cheating, there are these folks on the field called umpires who are supposed to be the arbitors of what actually happened without respect to what players try to make appear as though has happened. Swipe a tag that you know missed and try to sell it like you got the out - make the umpire call it - same thing. Framing pitches, trapped balls, on and on and on.
