Saw the story on NBC network news tonight. The 2017 World Series champion Houston Astros have been discovered as cheating. They had cameras spying on the signs. Those signs were relayed by text message and their batters were alerted to the sign by banging on a trash can.
MLB's suspending brass, Astros organization is firing some people.
MLB should ask for all the rings back! Every one.
If you were a player, you were probably afraid to say anything. But you were a participant. You heard the banging on the trash can telling you if it was a fastball, a slider or a change up, etc. You should not have expected a World Series championship ring. You should be fine with having to give it back.
They have besmirched baseball, they have desecrated the game. What kind of message is this to the youth of America? We are living in dark times, make no mistake about it.
Would you be proud to wear that ring?
