Dan Levitt-Cheating in Baseball

Listen Later

Welcome to the Greetings and Felicitations, a podcast where I explore topics that might not seem directly related to compliance but influence our profession. In this episode, I visit Dan Levitt, co-author (with Mark Armour) of the book Intentional Balk: Baseball's Thin Line Between Innovation and Cheating. Highlights include:

  • Competitive people will always seek an advantage. Legal or occasional otherwise.
  • Many at the forefront of innovation are also those who break the rules.
  • Baseball and cheating have a long history together.
  • Innovations from outside baseball can also present a temptation to cheat.
  • The reaction to cheating: change over time? Why different over different infractions?
  • Implicit cost-benefit analysis to cheating.
  • Why and when does cheating lead to chaos and controversy

    • Resources
