When it comes to gymnastics, Simone Biles needs no introduction. She has seven Olympic medals, tied with Shannon Miller for the most Olympic medals won by an American gymnast. With all the love she has for the sports she performs in, she also likes to watch baseball. Recently, her favorite, the Houston Astros, captured their second World Series in six seasons on November 5th with a 4-1 victory over Philadelphia. But there is a little bit of spice to the winning.

It looks like our star gymnast is a big fan of America’s most hated sports team. Houston Astros is an American professional baseball team based in Houston. They have a huge fan base throughout parts of the United States. The team managed to get into the World Series four times in the last six years.

Recently, she shared her support for her favorite team in the finals through an Instagram story. The reactions weren’t as good as expected. Houston Astros are known for being involved in the 2017 cheating scandal. The team was caught by the MLB investigation team after using an electronic sign-stealing system. With the help of cameras, they would know about the pitch that was coming by and also banging on drums.
