Baseball isn't the only sport that "condones cheating", to use
mhuxt!hstrop's words. Depending on whether you'd consider tournament
chess a "sport", which is is in many countries.
	In tournament chess, if one player's clock has run out of
time, the other player must spot it and call him out of time. I don't
think this is "condoning cheating", and I don't think in baseball it's
"condoning cheating" either for the tag-up to have to be appealed. It
keeps you on your (mental) toes. In continuous-action sports, like
hockey, it obviously wouldn't be practical, but I don't see the problem
in baseball.
