After conquering the American League with sheer dominance, the Houston Astros reached the postseason. Even the postseason turned out to be a simple cakewalk for them as they swept the Seattle Mariners in the ALDS and the Yankees in the ALCS.  Although they did face some competition in the World Series, the Philadelphia Phillies also failed to tackle past the mighty Astros.

However, all through their World Series dominance, the Astros were victims of trash cans and cheating taunts after their trash can cheating scandal from 2017 to 2018.

Notably, in 2019, reports of their sign-stealing scandal came to light. The allegations were confirmed in January 2020 and the Astros were accused of using their staff to watch opponent catchers using cameras and hinting at the batter by banging trash cans.

How did the Astros respond to the consistently increasing trash can jibe?

Seemingly, the trash can taunt continued even to this season, as the Astros dominated past every opponent. However, shortly after winning their second World Series, the Astros think-tank started the sale of an extremely interesting souvenir at their team store. Yes, as shared by various fans, the Astros started selling trash cans with their name and logo.

While some fans looked at this incident as extremely humorous, some wondered whether the team should be parading their mistakes and scandals from 2017 and 2018.

Houston Astros – the undoubted American League Champions since 2017

Since 2017, out of the six World Championships, the American League has conquered three. And from these three, the Astros have won two in 2017 and 2022 (Boston Red Sox won in 2018). Moreover, the Astros have made it to every postseason since 2017, with three Championship Series appearances and one World Series appearance.
