Why? Apparently the trainers were in on it, everyone knew what was going on? Having the players actually cheating vs just using some electronic aide. The players still have to perform.. They still have to catch up with and hit the fastball over the fence or for a double etc... I would say equal plane... as far as an asterisk would go..
If you had a overage kid on a Little League WS team, and the coach etc knew... Same thing IMO. Player, electronics, cheating is cheating...
