Scott, When was the last time you ever saw a team-sport player at any level above grade school confess to a rules infraction or a call that the officials missed? The base runner who says, ''Ump, he tagged me. No run''? The receiver who says, ''My bad--no touchdown. I stepped out of bounds at the one''? That's cheating, folks. Basketball? NBA referees have long admitted that they can only call so many fouls because infractions--holding, slapping, elbowing, charging and other attempts to gain unfair advantage--are rampant on the floor. Did Michael Jordan ever demand that the refs call a tighter game because he knew he was getting away with murder? That's cheating. Boy, I'm not sure I'd equate that stuff with intentionally corking a bat. On the other hand, pitchers have been doctoring baseballs for years, and if/when they get caught, they ought to get hammered too. The problem with Sammy Sosa now is (1) he seemed to be above all of that, and (2) his accomplishments are called into question. It hurts his image. jpg
