Welcome to the Greetings and Felicitations, a podcast where I explore topics that might not seem directly related to compliance but influence our profession. In this episode, I visit Dan Levitt, co-author (with Mark Armour) of the book Intentional Balk: Baseball’s Thin Line Between Innovation and Cheating. Highlights include:
- Competitive people will always seek an advantage. Legal or occasional otherwise.
- Many at the forefront of innovation are also those who break the rules.
- Baseball and cheating have a long history together.
- Innovations from outside baseball can also present a temptation to cheat.
- The reaction to cheating: change over time? Why different over different infractions?
- Implicit cost-benefit analysis to cheating.
- Why and when does cheating lead to chaos and controversy
