The Los Angeles Dodgers and their fans were all over Josh Reddick on Thursday night.
Reddick’s contract was purchased by the Arizona Diamondbacks, meaning he played for the team against the Dodgers on Thursday. The timing was great.
See, Reddick was part of the 2017 Houston Astros who beat the Dodgers in the World Series. Those same Astros were later found to have cheated in the postseason.
Every time Reddick came up to bat, he was booed heavily and called a cheater.

But the best part came when the Dodgers’ organist played Ace of Base’s “The Sign” for a Reddick at-bat.

That was a fantastic reference to the Astros stealing signs and relaying them with a trash can in real-time.
When news of the scandal was first confirmed last year, Dodgers fans had the harshest reactions of all. It makes sense considering the Astros beat their team in the World Series.
The Houston Astros are confirmed cheaters and deserve an asterisk. Send that message by wearing our Houston Asterisks T-shirt! You can buy it here:
