Houston, we have a problem! I guess it would be more accurate to say the Houston Astros have a huge problem. Major League baseball recently concluded an investigation into the 2017 World Series champions and have accused the Astros of cheating. An elaborate system of stealing signs, masterfully executed utilizing modern technology like trash cans and hidden mics. This is a scandalous story that shows no sign of going away anytime soon.
The Houston Astros place in the annals of World Series champions seems destined to include an asterisk. Since it is impossible to go back in time to right a wrong, MLB has chosen to add an asterisk to any achievement it feels was accomplished by unsavory methods.
