Part of the game. Not cheating at all. If you can't disguise signs by the time you get to the Majors, you don't deserve to be there.

Besides that, in 90 percent of hitting situations, and about 55 percent of pitching situations, every knowledgeable fan in the park knows what's coming. Knowing, and doing something about it are two very different things.

sign stealing is OK if you do it without technology (unlike the Patriots spygate incident or the 1951 New York Giants allegedly stealing Dodger signs by using a telescope from an apartment building behind the bleachers ) if you do it with your own eyes and alertness its part of the game.

I've been a minor league umpire and I've had catchers turn to me and complain that the hitter was trying to look at the signs. I just looked at the kid and asked "Are you kidding me?" When he looked confused I told him it was part of the game and to get over it. I mean you have a glove for a reason.

Stealing signs isn't even cheating; it's just being heads-up and taking advantage of the catcher giving the pitcher a signal on what to throw. How is that even cheating?

Stealing signs is an art form in of itself. One of the strategic, 'cat and mouse' aspects of the game that make it fun to watch. A good coach will know how to do this.

Be more clever and they can't steal them.

I don't care what the 'code of baseball' says. . .sign stealing is okay by me. If you aren't smart enough to keep your information coded and hidden then you don't deserve to in the first place. ..
