Since the league’s report on the Astros sign stealing scandal was released, we’ve heard plenty of opinions on the matter, most of which are no more important than the rest. But a few have shined a light on something most people knew to be true.
The latest was longtime first baseman Will Clark, who when asked about the Astros, implied that they were just the ones who got caught, but that illegal sign stealing is rampant. There have been plenty of others who’ve indicated the same thing, with allegations going as far back as when Tony LaRussa managed the White Sox in the 1980s.
