Corrupt party is a game (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

baseball

'game' is the definition.
(baseball is a kind of game)

'corrupt party' is the wordplay.
'corrupt' becomes 'base'.
'party' becomes 'ball' (ball is a kind of party).
'base'+'ball'='BASEBALL'

'is a' is the link.

(Other definitions for baseball that I've seen before include "Mainly North American game" , "Popular American sport" , "American team game" , "Game played in a strangely able labs" , "Nine-a-side game" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
