Indian cricketer MS Dhoni was recently heard saying that match fixing was worse than murder, so he and Pud have a lot in common. Also, I like the subtlety of the nickname “Pud.” It’s much better than “Big Dick Nick” Foles. The fact that you are mentioning it at all is enough.
Harold Seymour’s baseball history books are pretty clear on the cheating question. Fixing games started before organized baseball. There were other “ingenious” ideas explored by players, managers, and owners. Ol’ Pud wasn’t that different from his contemporaries.

I think it might have been one of those "unwritten"rules— like bunting in the 9th inning to break up a no hitter.
