The Astros, sign-stealing, and baseball's cheating etiquette Jeva Lange Illustrated | AP Photo/File, AP Photo/Chris Park, natasaadzic/iStock November 15, 2019 Baseball is a no-nonsense game.

Do the interviews, the media comments, the commercials, the display and worship of military murderers, and the half-time show express the true needs, feelings, and concerns of the general population? Over 100 million people continue to watch it, so how closely are the personalities of Americans reflected ...
