Angels fire longtime employee amid cheating rumors

The Angels had an off-day on Thursday, but here’s the latest surrounding the team

There was a scandal that took place yesterday, as longtime clubhouse manager Brian Harkins was fired by the team for allegedly furnishing illegal substances to put on baseballs, according to the LA Times.

Harkins has worked at Angel Stadium since 1990, where he’s tended to the visiting teams. Back in 2005, he was named the Visiting Clubhouse Manager of the Year by MLB equipment managers.

“He is no longer working for the Angels,” team president John Carpino said in a statement to the Los Angeles Times.
