@DisappearingBoy88 Why don't you post comments anymore? Too much of a pussy to keep replying?

@DisappearingBoy88 Wow. Many thanks for that.

@6anatolyy4 At mid-season, one team (the NY Giants) were so far back in the standings that no one thought they had a shot at the championship. But then they won 50 of their last 62 games to tie the Dodgers at the end of the season. The two teams then played a three-game playoff, which the Giants won on the home run in the video. Years later, it was revealed that the Giants had cheated all throughout the second half of the season, but at the time it seemed like they had pulled off a real miracle.

I'm a Brit. I don't wish to appear disrespectful here, but would someone mind explaining to me the significance of this event? It's clear it's a big deal. I'd just like to understand why. Thanks

That's completely not true. Go back to the Greenberg Tigers in the 40s (in his bio he talks about how they stole signs all year) to say nothing of one John J McGraw of the New York Baseball Giants.

@nycalling72 Not over 62 games, no.

@DisappearingBoy88 Because there was never cheating in Baseball, throughout it's long and glorious history.

Yeah, the Giants won the pennant... because they cheated. They finished the season 50-12 after implementing a scheme where someone sitting in the bleachers would relay the opposing pitchers' signals to the batter. The players even admitted to doing this in 2001.
Bobby Thompson, and Evan Longoria ....
