Now, in order to fully understand cheating in baseball and the impact it has had on baseball, we must first fully understand how cheating is viewed in the ethical world of sports. There are many books that discuss the ethics involved. in sports. One comes from author James H. Humphrey, whose book Issues in Contemporary Athletics. (New York: Nova SciencePublishers, 2007), examines how this code of ethics applies in intercollegiate athletics and examines "what are the criteria for an effective code of ethics." Humphrey asserts his own view that "ethical codes vary in their impact on behavior in a variety of contexts." This shows his view that there is no real set of ethics, it varies from sport to sport. The book Sport, game and ethical reflection. (Urbana: University of Illinois Press, 2006), goes even further as author Randolph Feezell goes so far as to suggest that "cheating may be acceptable" in sports, going so far as to state that he feels " cheat ". is a central element of sportsmanship. Feezell's reasoning is that it's difficult to define exactly what constitutes cheating. He mentions that "there are all kinds of subtle illegalities that are not only accepted but recommended as an appropriate strategy." Feezell supports this with examples from various sports, such as golf, in which "golfers are allowed to rub the front of their driver with Vaseline for better control." As Feezell suggests, in any other sport this would be considered cheating. As for baseball, Feezell points out that men like Gaylord Perry and On Sutton were pitchers known for "throwing a spitball – actually a tampered ball – for many years, and are now Hall of Famers." Feezell makes a lot of good points about the middle of paper in baseball. Throughout the literature studied, we find this clear notion of the importance that integrity and purity play in the game. There is no doubt that cheating scandals like that of the Black Sox have changed the situation, both for good and for bad. After reading so many diverse opinions, there is no doubt that many of these topics, like Joe Jackson and Pete Rose, are still controversial to this day. Another finding is that although ethics plays an important role in sport, there is no clear definition of what is defined as ethics, and it is important to be aware of this when trying to determine the he effect of cheating not only on baseball, but on sports in general. Therefore, by going through this article, one should have a clear understanding of the available works on this topic, as well as an overview of the ideas and themes that intertwine between them...
