Gates Brown (1939-2013) was a ballplayer for the Detroit Tigers. He was a good batter but his other baseball skills were mediocre. He therefore was used mainly as a pinch hitter. During a game on August 7, 1968, the Tigers were playing a home game against the Cleveland Indians. Brown was waiting on the bench when he got hungry. Although it was against the rules, he sneaked out of the dugout and went to the snack bar and bought two hot dogs which he plastered with mustard and ketchup. He no sooner had returned to the dugout when he was called up to bat. After hiding the wieners inside his jersey, he went to bat and hit a double. As he slid into second base on his stomach, proof of his transgression was revealed. When he stood up, the front of his jersey was covered with mustard and ketchup.
Like Brown, we may hide our sins for a while but sooner or later they will be revealed. "For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known" (Lk 12:2).
