Never happened.

Truth it was Sosa/Big Mac

When McGuire broke the record the whole sports world went crazy!

What a time to be alive!

i'm curious why all these players are saying how good they'd be knowing pitches (trout, stanton, judge, etc)

houston's splits show they were better on the road than at home

also, some of those videos that show the banging are so real time i have to question how prevalent it really was

there's some where the second the catcher shows the sign there's a bang

didn't they say it was relayed to a room, then shouted down a hallway to the dugout trashcan?

you're telling me a bunch of dudes with the education of an 8 year old can read a sign, decode it, yell it down a hall to another player who understands immediately to process to bang or not?

also, the logic of the system seems flawed

"no bang = fastball"

what if they just couldn't decode in time? rofl. almost seems like an unproductive advantage, you think "hmmm no bang, fastall" but it's just that the ballboy didn't find the drum stick fast enough

so their cheating is lessened because it may not always have been effective? ridiculous....

cheating is cheating. they should all be banned for life and title stripped.
go homer somewhere else.

but everyone cheats so is ok right?

ok, so the sox and yankees should both have been banned too then...

"Weber openly admitted this to the league during its investigation. That's it. Technically a violation"

cheating is cheating, right?

i'm not saying they didn't break a rule, i'm asking how people think this provided an advantage when the numbers don't show it

double post, opps

im perfectly ok with that, ban them all. zero tolerance.

ok, so vacate every world series from what, 1985 through 2010?

again though, any insight into the advantage from sign stealing?

oh, and the cardinals in 2013-2016 since that's when he was caught? ban that team from the league maybe?
