Dan Levitt-Cheating in Baseball

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.

Why different over different infractions? Implicit cost-benefit analysis to cheating. Why and when does cheating lead to chaos and controversy Resources Intentional Balk
