It isn't different. He broke no rule. Baseball isn't self regulated like golf. If the umpires miss a call then you are under no obligation to bail them out. As for the social implication, I thought no one under 40 watched baseball anymore? And the rest of the world watches Soccer which is not only mind numbingly dull but where faking is an art form.
