Reminds me of the adage supposedly having occurred at Babe Ruth's funeral wherein many old timers lamented the Babe's records shortened many of their careers. One young pitcher piped up innocently and said " I always wished I'd played against him" The old-timers stared knives at him and then one snarled "Another wise-crack like that kid will get you a punch in the mouth".
Trust me those fixed cup were to be avoided at all costs.
