The Long Beach and East Fullerton Little League organizations have each banned the Astros as a team name after fallout from the 2017 cheating scandal. The Houston Astros beat the Los Angeles Dodgers in the World Series that season.
The Houston Astros beat the Los Angeles Dodgers four games to three during an epic World Series in 2017. Last month, Major League baseball found the Astros guilty of electronically stealing signs during the 2017 season and banging on trash cans to alert its hitters of what pitch was coming.
Steve Klaus, the Long Beach Little League president, said his league informally considered dropping the name during the offseason, but more serious conversations have led to the league changing its bylaws and creating a permanent ban., which first reported the story."They are disgusted with the Astros and their lack of ownership and accountability. We know there's more to this scandal. What's coming tomorrow? With the Astros, you've got premeditated cheating.
One father said he is proud the league will ban the Astros, because otherwise it would send a signal to the kids that it's ok to cheat.
