Nationals Fan Wears Perfect Shirt to Troll Astros Because Security Can't Steal Shirts
By Michael Luciano
The MLB has set a precedent for how fans are allowed to troll the Houston Astros in the wake of their sign-stealing scandal, as ballpark security confiscating an anti-Astros sign showed posters that mention anything to do with trash can banging is not going to be tolerated.
Shirts, however, are totally fair game because they can't be taken by security. Knowing this, Washington Nationals fan William Rupp broke out some gear that goes in on the Astros for using the most low-tech and barbaric of means to relay their stolen signs to the hitters at the plate.
The first few Spring Training games for the Astros have been pretty tame, save for the fans booing them mercilessly. Jose Altuve was drilled in his third at-bat, but that was a breaking ball that got away rather than a 95 MPH fastball near the dome.
Whenever the Astros come to town, opposing fans are going to pull out all the stops to get in a dig or two at the perpetrators of one of the most damning scandals in the history of the sport.
The Astros should prepare for anything and everything both on and off the field whenever they play on the road this campaign.
