Just because there aren’t crowds at actual stadiums during the coronavirus pandemic doesn’t mean the Houston Astros aren’t hearing it from baseball fans on social media.
Astros slugger Josh Reddick posted a tweet on Monday about there being two registers open at Wal-Mart during this time of social distancing (he followed up and said he wasn’t complaining, just joking).
When someone followed up and called him a “cheater,” Reddick responded by simply posting a photo of his 2017 World Series ring, which would have been a pretty great comeback … except that 2017 is the year the team was stealing signs.

You can guess how everyone else responded:

Nice ring. Too bad fans and other players don’t respect it. Cheater.
