Astros owner Jim Crane says cheating didn’t cost the Yankees a World Series: ‘This didn’t impact the game’.

This answer isn’t likely to sit well with Yankee fans.

Astros owner Jim Crane spoke Thursday morning as the franchise trotted out several players and execs to try to apologize for the sign-stealing scandal that has rocked the baseball world for the last few months.

But when directly asked if his team’s cheating cost the Yankees a shot at winning a World Series title in 2017, Crane said "Our opinion is this didn’t impact the game. We had a good team. We won the World Series and we’ll leave it at that.”
