Sign stealing
The Blue Jays are being accused of having a runner on second base stealing signs and communicating them to the batter. Perhaps I'm biased because they're my home town team, but I've never understood why this is particularly frowned upon in baseball. I could understand a team being upset if a home team had some technology-driven sign stealing scheme that gave them an unfair advantage, but here, both teams have the same opportunity to get a guy on second base and have him try to interpret and communicate the signs. Why is this not simply "doing everything you can to win the game?" I don't get it.
