The Washington Nationals defeated the Houston Astros in seven games to capture the 2019 World Series title, and Nats first baseman Ryan Zimmerman used that victory to make a joke about the Astros 2017 sign-stealing scheme.

"They needed better video to beat us," the 35-year-old quipped to reporters Monday.

On Jan. 13, MLB revealed results from an investigation that found the Astros illegally used in-game technology to relay signs and specific pitches to batters during their 2017 championship run and for "at least for part" of the 2018 season.
