"At this point, the Houston Astros’ 2017 cheating scandal has been well documented. But they weren’t banging on garbage cans in a vacuum. The journalist who broke the original sign stealing story goes into more detail about the conditions that led to the dugout percussion routine, the fallout across the sport, and other efforts Houston made to gain an edge (yes, McKinsey consultants are involved). The on-field players take a back seat to the front office characters who have egos to match their budget. This book is as much about modern American culture and business as it is about baseball."
