The Physics of Cheating at Baseball; SPITBALL SCIENCE

Scuffballs, spitballs, and corked bats.Some baseball players are accused of cheating, Jim Kaat reveals the cheats that were used. I never knew baseball players could cheat so well and be such great physists, but they forgot one thing for cheating. The gloves. The baseball players forgot to modify the gloves. They can make their gloves more wider so the glove can easily catch the ball. The players probably can think of a way to fix their glove to catch the ball better, if they can make spitballs and corked bats. I think somebody in one of the baseball teams will probably modify their glove one day. After realizing that some sports players cheat, I looked at this from a different point of view. What if tennis players cheated too? They might change the balls to make their serves harder to hit or change their tennis rackets to make the ball do weird actions.. A long time ago I read an article about a tennis player who technically cheated because he wore green clothes. Since the ball is green and he wore the same color, the opponent might get confused and not see where the ball is coming. That's one possible cheat out of the many others out ther. I think that there is a possibility tennis pkayers might also be great physists.
