LOUIS • Speaking out publicly for the first time since news of a federal probe into his organization broke Tuesday, St. Louis Cardinals Chairman Bill DeWitt Jr. said Thursday that he had no knowledge of any hacking into a Houston Astros’ internal database, either before or after it occurred.
“There was zero knowledge until the FBI launched their investigation and we became aware of it,” DeWitt said.
