The game when played competitive to win has --
players taking advantages no matter the position they play ....

Baseball has some out-of-date rules but those rules need to be addressed and players and teams need to required to play by the rules .

Illegal substances -- Spit balls -- George Brett Pine Tar on the Bat -- Corks/rubber balls in the bats -- coating and material bats are made from -- uniforms -- sandpaper ...... I remember them basically undressing the pitcher to find an illegal material / substance .

Players, Coaches, and Teams were punished .

The PROBLEM this is a WHOLE team --- whether they participated or just had knowledge ------- IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN STOPPED .

Instead Major League Baseball is going ahead with Tech. in the games . Strike Zone ??? Angles of Cameras ??? Wearing electronics ???

REALLY !

Should they "mike" the pitcher and catcher ? How about batter and third base coach ?

ANOTHER PROBLEM -- teams cheating and stealing signs then saying that the Pitcher was tipping pitches ............ were any or How many injuries did pitchers get trying to alter deliveries ?

**** If I throw a pitch with "illegal" substance - it is 30 to 60 days suspension . BUT if I the batter is told every pitch that is being thrown - it is okay ???
