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
