MLB News: Houston Astros Allegedly Complained to the League About Fan Taunting
Being a member of the Houston Astros just isn’t going to be very fun for a while. After they rocked MLB with a cheating scandal that was exposed before the 2020 season, the Astros have not been given warm welcomes.
MLB fans had to miss out on expressing their feelings for the entire 2020 season due to the pandemic. So when opposing fan bases get to see the Astros live this year, they’re making their voices heard.
The latest fan base to give them an earful is that of the New York Yankees. Other teams around MLB have been loud, but nothing like in the Bronx. Yankees fans showed up with signs, inflatable trash cans, and chants that cannot be repeated without the blur tool.

One fan in New York drew far too much attention, missing the opportunity to show off his hard work. SI featured the fan in an article this weekend who also alleged that security told him of some rule changes. The security guard also told him that the Astros had complained about fan behavior to MLB.
MLB and the Commissioner’s office apparently were unaware of a complaint, so who really knows. But it’s safe to say that fans have not forgotten what the Astros did to the game of baseball. Yankees fans certainly haven’t, especially after getting knocked out of the 2017 ALCS by Houston.
So far, fans in Oakland and Anaheim have also been pretty hard on the Astros to start the year. If Houston did complain to MLB about fans, well…expect it to get a whole lot worse. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Hey this is serious. I mean the little snookins self esteem is suffering. We can’t have that can we?
If you think NY was bad wait until they get to Dodger stadium in August. All kidding aside it might be a good idea for the Dodgers to ban any fans from wearing Astros gear to those games for their own safety.
The Astro players truly desrve it too, especially because of the inept Manfred let them get fully away with this. Astros have made their bed, now they must lie in it.
Too bad for the Cheaters. They Need to take their medicine!!
The CHEATER ASTROS need to deal with the heat they are receiving from baseball fans!! THOSE TO CHEAT SO NOW DEAL WITH IT!!!!
Springer took the easy way out and signed with Toronto. But for the rest, its free picking.
Apparently, the Astros aren’t only cheaters, they’re also whiners.
YOU KNOW I DONT UNDERSTAND THE RED SOX HAVE BEEN CAUGHT CHEATING AND THE YANKEES TOO WHY IS EVERY ONE TAKING IT OUT ON JUST THE ASTROS
I DONT CARE WHAT OTHER PEOPLE SAY IT IS NOT FARE FOR FANS TO PICK ON THE ASTRO WHEN OTHER TEAMS HAVE DONE IT AND BEEN CAUGHT AND FINED
The Astro’s just didn’t cheat but cheated and won a World Series title and that separates the men from the boys in the cheating department
