29. Of course no signs were stolen electronically during the Wagner/ Young era.

There was no electronic gear capable of stealing signs. Until the mid to late '60's scoreboards didn't keep scores digitally. Scores were hung on scoreboards using a cane type device.
So now with the electronic age comes at least three incidents of East Coast teams cheating, the Yankees and Red Sox Sox in baseball and the Patriots in the NFL. And, of course, the Astros being from Texas will be the team really slagged for it.

I never said anything about signs being stolen electronically but with the long tradition of sign stealing in baseball when electronic measures became possible looks like hi tech tradition carried on through the years.
Get your cognitive sensibilities straight.
