George Will
Just as the common law derives from ancient precedents — judges' decisions — rather than statutes, baseball's codes are the game's distilled mores. Their unchanged purpose is to show respect for opponents and the game. In baseball, as in the remainder of life, the most important rules are unwritten. But not unenforced.

Whenever, then, the usual and ordinary rate...Only by perfect virtue...You should learn from your competitor, but never copy...There is always some madness in love...I would as soon leave my son a curse...If you steal from one author it's plagiarism...
