There's no mystique with these guys. They admitted they cheated. There's no shroud of mystery over who did what. There's no penny pinching owner to motivate what happened. There's no mob angle. Just a bunch of guys who didn't think they were good enough to win on their own. Not a lot to invest in there.

Do you think the Yankees signed Cole because they didn't think they were good enough to win without him? No, they did it to better their chances. Same reason the Astros cheated.

another astros fan who's tired of hearing about how his team's world series rings are tarnished. all the sarcastic posts in the world won't undo the fact your boys felt they needed to cheat to win.

Heard a line here on NY talk radio Yankees win Championships they dont whine about them. Opening day just around the corner let's play some ball. 2017 was a long time ago..
As for memorabilia the GT marketing houston show has all the Astros stars I might send in a couple balls and see if I can get an "I Cheated" inscription. But I am not counting on it...

I think a signed trash can lid (aluminum in black sharpie) would be a cool item!.
