This is different. There is a guy acting like he is in deep pain, and after the game he admits the ball only hit the bat. You wonder why WALLSTREET stole from America? Duh. We need to stop encouraging kids to be deceitful. What happened last night was a guy got ahead by using deceit. You can't be surprised that our society can't fix that. Not when we're encouraging Jeter's little exhibit last night.
