No, this post is not about cheating husbands and wives, but good 'ol American Baseball. For those not in the know, on January 13, 2020, a Major League Baseball investigation confirmed the Houston Astros organization did illegally use a video camera to STEAL opposing team pitching signs in 2017 and parts of 2018.
RaiderLegend: Cheating Astros Should Forfeit A Season And/Or Series (powellsplace.blogspot.com)
This season marked the seventh straight season, beginning 2017, the Astros have been to the American League Championship. Prior to 2017 they had one playoff appearance in eleven years. Since being exposed for CHEATING, the Astros have continued making the playoffs, but with only one World Series championship win.

I dislike cheaters, just as much as liars. Thanks to the 2023 Texas Rangers we Will Not see the Houston Astros, verified cheaters in past seasons, play in this year's World Series.
I congratulate the Rangers for a great season of baseball. In this seven game ALCS they proved their medal by winning all four games on the road in Houston, the last two being must win games. I look forward to seeing if the Rangers can keep it going against the winner of today's NLCS game 7 (Diamondbacks vs Phillies).
As for the CHEATERS, I find it so hard to forgive the Astros their cheating ways. I almost look at them as I do liars, "once a liar always a liar." It took three years for their cheating to be exposed and addressed by the league. Since that exposure in 2020, the Astros are 1-1 in the WS, and 2-2 in the ALCS.
So, either the Astros have found new ways of hiding their cheating, or perhaps cheating in baseball has little impact on the final outcome of winning or losing baseball games. I leave it up to baseball fans to decide.
