PROBE DEMANDED IN ASTROS CHEATING SCANDAL



When it reaches the level of people bigger than Major League Baseball... it's something that needs to be taken seriously.

This is a quick note because this Astros Cheating Scandal is not going away.  Now it seems that New York State Senator James Skoufis wants action!

The New York Post writes:


"James Skoufis (D-Rockland-Orange) has drafted a resolution for the Legislature to vote on urging MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred to take action. 

'The Astros might have been able to pull a fast one on the MLB, but here in New York, we take pride in the integrity of our sports. The commissioner has a clear and unequivocal responsibility to investigate this further,' Skoufis, who chairs the Senate Investigations and Government Operations panel, told The Post. 


'It’s not only a matter of right vs. wrong, but it’s a matter of consumer protection: people all over the country spend money each year going to baseball games, watching them with their families, and purchasing memorabilia. MLB must further investigate the impact of the Astros’ cheating on the 2017 and 2019 ALCS series and take any and all steps to restore virtue to our nation’s pastime.'"

Integrity. That's right. Something that Rob Manfred, Tony Clark of the Player's Union, Jim Crane and the entire Astros team lack.

Go get them Senator Skoufis!
