Abstract
In this chapter we focus on fraud and corruption in baseball. We start by reviewing the different types of match-fixing in baseball around the world; these consist of match-fixing for ‘vested gambling interests’ (Ginsburg, 1996), state corruption and manipulation of Little League Baseball (LLB) in Taiwan and playing ineligible players to win national and international matches (Junwei, 2007).
