At that level winning is the only thing. Its what pays your bills.
If it gives you an edge and there's no written rule against it then its fair game.
Its baseball not golf. This is a sport filled with fair worse cheats then A-rod.
How many pitchers got caught juicing balls.
How about the pine tar bat incident, or better yet Sammy Sosa's loaded home run machine.
Ty Cobb sliding into bases with his cleats up.
Pitchers throwing balls at players heads.
There are far worse things then yelling mine on the base path.
If you want juvinile, I was at a major league game in texas where the hidden ball trick was used.
Its a sport where one of the most exciting plays is called stealing.
