New York Yankees fans jeer Houston Astros with boos, 'cheater' chants

NEW YORK -- On May the Fourth, New York Yankees fans channeled their inner Palpatine and directed their anger toward the Houston Astros the moment they stepped on the field.

"One bang fastball!" one fan screamed at Astros second baseman Jose Altuve, taking batting practice.

"You don't deserve your accolades!" another yelled at Astros third baseman Alex Bregman.

Tuesday marked the first day the crowd at Yankee Stadium had the opportunity to express their anger at the Astros for their sign-stealing scheme, which included banging on trash cans during the 2017 and 2018 seasons.
