Houston Astros owner on sign stealing: Our opinion is this didn’t impact the game

The Houston Astros' sign stealing did not impact the outcome of the 2017 World Series, according to team owner Jim Crane. A league investigation found the Astros had stolen signs during their 2017 championship, and general manager Jeff Luhnow and manager A.J. Hinch were suspended and then fired by Houston in a story that has dominated the MLB offseason. The Los Angeles Dodgers were beaten by the Astros in the seventh and deciding game of the World Series, but MLB commissioner Rob Manfred suggested the team will not be stripped of their title.
