À propos de cet audio

 “A baseball book that reads like a spy novel—a story about cheaters and the cheated that has the power to forever change how we feel about the game.” —Brian Williams, MSNBC anchor and host of The 11th Hour

The definitive insider story of one of the biggest cheating scandals to ever rock Major League Baseball, bringing down high-profile coaches and players, and exposing a long-rumored "sign-stealing" dark side of baseball

The ensuing scandal rivaled that of the 1919 "Black Sox" and the more recent steroid era, and became one of the most significant that the game had ever seen. The fallout ensnared many other teams, either as victims, alleged cheaters or both. The Los Angeles Dodgers felt robbed of a World Series title, and fended off accusations about their organization. Same for the New York Yankees. The Boston Red Sox were soon under investigation themselves. The New York Mets lost a promising manager before he ever managed a game.

Andy Martino, an award-winning journalist who has covered Major League Baseball for more than a decade, has broken numerous stories about the Astros and sign-stealing in baseball. In Cheated, Martino takes readers behind the scenes and into the heart of the events that shocked the baseball world. With inside access to the people directly involved, Martino breaks down not only exactly what happened and when, but reveals the fascinating explanations of why it all came about. The nuance and detail of the scandal reads like a true sports whodunnit. How did otherwise good people like Astros' manager A.J. Hinch, bench coach Alex Cora and veteran leader Carlos Beltran find themselves on the wrong side of clear ethical lines? And did they even know when those lines had been crossed? Cheated is an explosive, electrifying read. Baseball Entraînement Sports New York Sports Journalism

I read this book after a run of "Ball Four" by Jim Bouten and "October 1964" by David Halberstam (both I highly recommend), so it was a step down from those stories, but still an interesting bit of legend and lore from the Baseball Diamond. Baseball cheating is an interesting topic, and the perspective of the writer always plays into the narrative.

Overall the story was interesting to me as a lifelong baseball fan and enlightening. on a topic I needed to know more about. Some interesting anecdotes about the early sign stealing in baseball, and a fairly comprehensive overview of the Yankees, Red Sox and finally the Astros systemic cheating.

Not sure all the data is in this story, but still well told and worth a listen if you are a Baseball Fan. If you are looking for an explanation of what happened, it is fairly good as well.
