Also, cheating in baseball. It happens. It happens alot actually, but to get caught is something different. Note to self, if you have a thumbtack on you to scruff the ball, don’t wipe the sweat from your forehead with that hand! That’s how you get caught! More stories of how players have been busted bending the rules. Plus, our first ever Two Strike Noise Useless Baseball Quiz. Can you beat Mark’s score?
