It's official: Dodgers cheated out of 2017 World Series title

LA Times  

Clayton Kershaw reacts after giving up a three-run home run to the Astros’ Yuli Gurriel during Game 5 of the 2017 World Series at Minute Maid Park. How did the Houston Astros’ hitters so easily pound three of the Dodgers’ hottest pitchers in two key games in Houston in the 2017 World Series? Most cruelly, perhaps, the report notes that former Dodgers player Alex Cora, who was then an Astros coach, set the whole thing up when he “arranged for a video-room technician to install a monitor displaying the center-field camera feed immediately outside of the Astros dugout.” Players could easily see the catcher’s signs, decode them, then relay the information by banging a trash can with a bat to indicate which pitch was coming. “If the Dodgers are planning a 2017 World Series parade, I would love to join,” Darvish tweeted.
