Is it cheating or creativity? Examining the history of cheating in baseball.

from The Week in Philly from KYW Newsradio · host Audacy

Every sport has its cheating scandals, but it seems to be a regular thing in baseball. The rules keep evolving to prevent cheating - but that begs the question, is it really cheating if there wasn’t a written rule against it when it happened? Some types of cheating can ruin a baseball career, but others are overlooked or even glorified. Dan Levitt is the co-author, along with Mark Armour, of a new book about the history of cheating in baseball called “Intentional Balk”. Dan talks with us about how cheating has changed over the years, how baseball fans view different types of cheating, and what cheating could look like in the future with developing technology.Find out more about “Intentional Balk”, including where to buy it, at intentionalbalkbook.com.
