Sign stealing

  • ... that in baseball, it is not against the rules to steal signs? [1]: The consensus among players and coaches is that any code deciphering by uniformed personnel is part of the game, but when outside equipment -- electronic, mechanical or otherwise -- is used, that's crossing the line. The official MLB rulebook does not address sign-stealing, though a memo was distributed in 2001 telling clubs that technology "could not be used for communications or for the purpose of stealing signs or conveying information designed to give a club an advantage."

  • Article new enough, long enough, and adequately cited. Hook short enough, interesting enough, and also cited. Article appears to be neutral and free of copyright violations and plagiarism. I have done some formating to citations. The QPQ is still needed other than that it's good to go. ~~ CAPTAIN MEDUSAtalk 17:02, 18 November 2019 (UTC)
