MLB didn't strip the steroid cheaters of their individual records so they weren't going to do this for the Astros. Probably too much money changed hands in sports books around the world to do that anyway. And IDK if the Black Sox are a great comparable. They didn't cheat, they lost on purpose.

Crane is not a good guy. Sometimes the less you know about people the better. BTW the rumor that I have heard a couple of times is the reason Hinch destroyed the monitors was because they had gotten the pitch wrong. FWIW.

It's a shame. THe Astros were a great story in 2017 and many likable personalities on the team. Unfortunately the whole experience for the fans is tainted now, not to mention how fans and players from all over the league feel cheated. I am always amazed at how easy it for some people to lie and the Astros were good at it.

Regardless I will be cheering for the deplorable bad guys again this year. Should be interesting as hell. The team itself doesn't look as strong though.
