Bob Boyfred is the Worst Commissioner in MLB History
I was completely mortified when I heard the news that the Boston Red Sox cheated during their 2018 World Championship season. I had been a Red Sox fan my entire life and I always believed that they were a paragon of virtue. Whether they won or lost, I believed that they always played the game the right way and never cheated. Yes, every Baseball team uses little tricks to try to get a slight edge, but I never thought that the Red Sox would stoop so low as to use electronic devices to steal signs from the opposing team. When the batter knows what pitch is coming, it makes a huge difference. I have first-hand experience with this. When I was in Little League, I struck out every at-bat. I would flail away and look like a complete clown. I always swung late at Fastballs. I always swung too early at Changeups. I always missed by a mile at Curves, Sliders, and Knuckleballs. Eventually some opposing pitchers took pity on me and told me that they were going to lob an easy one over the plate
