“This scandal [the Houston Astros’ use of forbidden
electronically aided sign-stealing] is a perfect illustration of why cheating in
professional sports is so bad. It ruins everything. There is no way to fix the
damage. And that scar across a sport's visage is permanent, as with the World
Series 101 years ago that is still known by just two words: Black Sox.” —Sports
columnist Thomas Boswell, “Cheating Ruins Everything About Sports, and the
Astros Got What They Deserved,” The
Washington Post, Jan. 14, 2020
