The Houston Astros will look at January 13th, 2020 as the darkest day in franchise history. They had a harsh punishment come down on them due to their involvement in a cheating scandal. They used technology to steal signs from the opposition and relay them to their hitters. It gave them a significant advantage that allowed them to be one of the elite teams in the entire league. The punishments that came down on them are the biggest since the 1919 Chicago White Sox had the “Black Sox Scandal”.
The Astros were penalized hard for this.
