I think he meant Jackie Mason

Not really surprising. Sign-stealing has always been a part of the game...if you can be observant enough to pick it up and somehow relay it to your advantage, then I think you've earned it.

But using technology, markers, cameras, iPads, and video replay to achieve the goal should be outlawed.

good ol' Joe Mason and Ralston Schmidt, all time Angels greats

It's not illegal.  Every team steals signs

My dog is a Mason.

Gotta watch those Masons, every once in a while they pop up unexpectedly.  You can read all about them here.....

They are easy to identify as baseball fans, just look for the hat....

I wish more Angels coaches successfully stole signs. 

Also, that Albert finds some of that good HGH that they can’t detect.

Funny, I completely forgot about that show until TD's typo.

I always hated the term "stealing" signs.  It is not stealing.

Using signs in the first place is trying to sneak communication.

If signs being used in the first place is fair game, then intercepting the signs is also fair game.

I'm my mind, you can't say stealing signs is wrong UNLESS you think using signs at all is wrong.

They really were.  I remember the time they tried to one-up Dock Ellis, and dropped both LSD and bath salts before a day game in the late 80's.

Ralsty ended up commandeering the organ and played "in-a-gadda-da-vida" for 3 hours straight.  Mason climbed to the top of the Big A, hurling hot dogs at drivers on the 57 fwy.

Good times.

Then ralston put on a sombrero and motorboated jackie autrey, and it was a wrap. He had to go.
