Jon Heyman Just Got Fooled by an Astros Fan's Tremendous Troll Job on Twitter
By Michael Luciano
Say what you will about the Houston Astros and their fanbase, but they have really mastered the art of needling both casual fans and the national media alike, as they have started to relish their role as MLB bad boys.
One Astros fans managed to fool MLB insider Jon Heyman completely by tweeting out a graphic that suggests the Astros are the most talked-about team in New York and southern California on the social networking platform, a reference to angry Yankees and Dodger fans who lost out on titles due to Houston's illegal acts. Heyman thought the map was real.
It's not.
Oh, Jon. How could you not see what a troll job this was? This is an instance of Astros fans winding you up, and you completely fell for it.
As much as Yankees and Dodgers fans want to deny it, we're in the middle of May 2020, and those fanbases are still pining for a reversal of playoff series that happened three years ago. Maybe Astros fans are righ about this whole rent-free thing.
Whenever you see this map or anything else similar that pokes fun at the Yankees or Dodgers while pumping up the Astros, don't fall for it. It's just meant to get you riled up.
