Can't think of any reason both of them shouldn't have tried something.

Both were on their way out.

I understand entirely what you're saying: try to milk a couple more years with big paychecks - at least relative to what they could make doing anything else - and at least hope to cash a few paychecks before getting caught (and at most, never get caught).  Still, I can't justify the logic that says "if you can't compete fairly, cheat."

Well, it depends on what you consider cheating.

Tommy John surgery cheating?
Contact lenses cheating?
Personal cook cheating?
Batting cage in the backyard cheating?

All of those are "outside help" to make a player better.

To quote our President "You didn't build that."     Well, I guess one could perform their own TJS or make their own contacts but it's unlikely.

Given that MLB now has a strict anti-doping policy I think it's fairly obviously cheating since it's breaking an explicit rule.  Same as the spitball.  Doesn't mean people aren't still going to make it into the HOF by doing it, but for some reason the difference seems to be that the BWAA will put you in even if everybody knows you threw the spitter and got away with it, but they won't put you in if you used PEDs or even are under any remote suspicion of having used PEDs.

Is framing a pitch cheating?   Pretending you caught a short hop?  Stealing a sign?
8/22/2012 8:09 PM
YES
8/22/2012 8:18 PM
Then why don't panties get wadded when that happens?
