[@johncronin9540]

The “Pine Tar Incident” as it has become known, should not be on this list. Pine tar, while it is supposed to be limited, does not help a bat hit a ball farther. It’s used to help a player’s grip, and if anything, pine tar is so sticky that it would hinder the effectiveness of the bat in question. The Royals protested the game, and the protest was sustained, and the two teams finished the remainder of this game, which the Royals wound up winning. The umpires actually had to use two different rules to arrive at their decision, and the rule book was updated after that season. Now, if there is too much pine tar on a bat, and the other team protests, as the Yankees did, the bat is removed from the game, with no penalty to the batter, since pine tar is not like corking a bat. George Brett got a little carried away in applying the pine tar, but he wasn’t cheating. The plate was used as a makeshift ruler. And players still legally use the pine tar. The home run counted, and there was no further sanction on Brett. Today, he would just have to fetch another bat.

[@hyboirds1536]

When the dude tried to toss the file it looks like with his other hand he passed something into the glove of the team mate standing next to him. You can tell both hands are trying to find something in the back pockets. I think there may have been even more to that then it seemed. I'm surprised looking at the footage afterward no one else questioned that. The more I've watched it the more I'm convinced he got away with handing something to the other guy.

[@michaelfranklin3977]

You can see the catcher walk up to him and tap him when he pulled out that card or paper the trick is to have something innocent in one pocket pull it out show it to everyone and then toss it or drop it and then your teammate picks it up off of the ground to distract everyone’s attention while you toss or drop or hand off whatever it is your hiding to the closest teammate whoever is in on it will usually step on what ever it is and twist there foot to drive it into the ground guy scratching his head to his right just so happens to look over in the nic of time his motion draws everyone else’s attention the key is the flick or toss whatever it is while you hand is still behind you back the motion of his arm and the late toss gives it away

[@dutchvandermorgan6226]

He did hand the catcher something, you’re right. But you can see the ump in the top left see it and come over and reach for something. Then he picks something off the ground. We will never know what he handed the catcher with his left while distracting with his right. Sneaky sneaky. Good eye

[@MMuraseofSandvich]

Baseball has a ton of arcane and weird rules because in the early days of the sport, the only rules were like "throw the ball, try to hit it, run the bases, score", and teams kinda made up their own rules around that. There's a rule against catchers using their face masks as secondary gloves-- if memory serves, it advances the runners, including the batter. The reason it's there is because catchers would "nudge" borderline fair pop fly balls into foul territory, or otherwise use their face masks to field the ball. Believe it or not, baseball is remarkably clean compared to its roots-- they used to play with no batting helmets and a single ball used for the entire game (unless there were home runs or foul balls into the stands), making the ball filthy, hard to track, and easy to turn into a "magic" ball-- that time was called "dirty ball". That practice ended when a batter lost his life when he didn't see a fastball flying towards his head. Today, batters get helmets and protective pads, while the ball is regularly swapped for fresh clean balls. MLB is in a "one step forward, two steps back" sort of situation. Review of umpire calls was LONG overdue, since the NHL and NFL have been doing it for decades before baseball said, "Uh, ya know, maybe the umps are human after all." But with the steroid abuse ~20 years ago, persistent bat corking, and more recently, the Astros cheating scandal and the crappy way the players union and commissioner handled it, fans aren't happy with the sport, and rightly so. What's worse is that players often don't need that "edge" to win, but by cheating, they not only ruin their careers and their fellow players' careers, every pennant they "won", every World Series ring they "won" is forever tainted with doubt. Houston had a great team in 2017, they could have beaten the Yankees and Dodgers fair and square, but they didn't (and to top it off, they have this ridiculously defensive "what's done is done, get over it," attitude which is frankly infuriating). Putting cork in a bat acts as a cushion, absorbing energy that could otherwise go into sending a ball over the left field fence.

[@isaaccaldwell6452]

[@XXelpollodiabloXX]

I don't consider the George Brett thing to be cheating. It wasn't a legal bat because there was pine tar too far up the handle, but it didn't grant him an advantage. The umpire's call was correct - he is out, runners are returned to the bases they occupied at the time of the pitch (assuming that he wasn't the third out). I'm not sure about then, but today if a similar situation were to arise, so long as the pine tar is removed past 18" from the end of the bat, then it becomes a legal bat and can be used in a subsequent at-bat.

Essentially it messes with the ball. You get a hit with the pine tar too high up it’ll rub off on the ball, and a fielders throw will be messed up because they aren’t expecting it.

[@jamesadkins7150]

Usually, it’s never called. You can watch the World Series today and a lot of those bats have tar that breaks that rule. It’s a picky rule, and coaches only point it out when it gives them an advantage like that. Most won’t.

#1. Houston Astros’ garbage-bin signals to batters at the plate (forewarning of off-speed pitches using primary real-time TV camera footage) in the 2017 WORLD SERIES that resulted in a Houston world championship -COMPARED TO- #2. George Brett’s singular plate appearance deemed illegal at the end of a regular-season July game with “perhaps too much pine tar on the bat” (which in fact, was eventually overturned, resulting in a Royals victory btw) Needless to say, these two scenarios are VASTLY different on the scale of “cheating in baseball”. George Brett’s singular at-bat was indeed controversial for a single game, but the Astros’ cheap, petty schemes in 2017 COMPLETELY RIGGED THE ENTIRE WORLD SERIES. These two events are INCOMPARABLE.
