Interpreting the signs is the real art. Willie Mays was mentored by the best, and could steal the signs in just three pitches; pitchers and catchers hated it when Mays was on second base, and often resorted to changing the signs.

Just this year, a MLB pitcher intentionally balked to move a runner from second to third just so he wouldn't steal the signs (they had already used the one allowed mound visit).
