“I didn’t know about it. I told the umpire, ‘No, we don’t have anybody out there with binoculars.’ I come to find out that we did,” say Philadelphia Phillies manager Charlie Manuel, following Major League Baseball’s warning to the team after FSN Rocky Mountain, the flagship broadcaster of the Colorado Rockies, showed  bullpen coach Mick “Peeping Tom” Billmeyer using the binoculars to peer in on Colorado catcher Miguel Olivo while the Phillies were at bat in the top of the second inning. “We were definitely not getting signs that way. He was standing straight up looking right at home plate. He was right out in the open. It wasn’t like he was hiding or nothing.”
