Yes, this kind of thing does happen all of the time. How often does a 2nd baseman or shortstop actually touch 2nd base when turning a double play? Half of the time maybe. Is that cheating?
When a guy traps a ball trying to make a diving catch and comes up like he caught it....is he cheating?
When a catcher frames a ball to make it look like a strike...is he cheating? If we start suspending people for this stuff no one will be playing because they will all be suspended.
I think people are making a way bigger deal out of this because it's the Yankees and Jeter. And like I said, I say this as someone that doesn't really care for either.
