but it's the same thing as stealing someone's identity from someone's desktop if they didn't lock their computer, as opposed to stealing someone's identify by hacking into a locked computer. Huuuuuge difference . . .

One is completely ok, the other is completely wrong and despicable.

Does it make me a cheater that I taught my 12 year old team to steal signs?

I thought it was all part and parcel to the game

Not the same thing at all...

So like the difference between a misdemeanor and a felony? Both are stealing

I think on a pro level, stealing signs the traditional way is part of the game

Nope, the MLB explicitly says it's legal to steal signs as long as you're not

Baseball is a game of all sorts of unspoken "rules"...

But in this case it's not an unspoken rule, it's a written rule.

Difference between rules and unwritten rules.

It’s confusing to a baseball outsider like me

Baseball is definitely a sport that could do that.

Thank you, it was pretty effective

Guilty as charged. I’ve done the same thing. I guess we’ll

Hey if the coach is flashing the one and two sign to his pitcher while

THAT is part of the game. Enhanced surveillance is going too far.

If a team is using "secret" signals, out in the open...

If you were violating a rule of the league you were playing in, yes. Otherwise
