______________________________________________________________________________<\/strong><\/p>\n The 2017 and 2018 World Series had something in common . . . and no, it’s not that they’re both the subject of CHEATING investigations, although that’s true, too.<\/p>\n The\u00a0L.A. Dodgers<\/strong>\u00a0lost both of them.\u00a0 In 2017, they lost to the\u00a0Houston<\/strong>\u00a0. . . and then in 2018, they lost to Boston<\/strong>. Major League Baseball has found that the Astros engaged in electronic sign-stealing in 2017, and it looks like the Red Sox did some similar cheating in 2018.\u00a0 But it DOESN’T sound like the MLB will be stripping their titles.<\/p>\n Nevertheless, the L.A. City Council is\u00a0expected to vote\u00a0on a resolution urging baseball to RECALL the championship trophies, and “award them to the L.A. Dodgers.”<\/p>\n Speaking of scandals, the latest rumor is that the Astros used BUZZERS\u00a0this past year on their bodies which notified them of what pitches were coming.\u00a0 Major League Baseball says there’s NO PROOF\u00a0that this is true, and\u00a0Jose Altuve<\/strong>\u00a0is denying it.<\/p>\n ______________________________________________________________________________<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n ENTERTAINMENT<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n ________________________________________________<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Daniel Radcliffe isn\u2019t a famous face to everyone!
