Funniest Tweets About Astros Cheating Scandal

Jose Altuve — Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve.

The Astros cheated. We all know that now. They stole signs to win games, including the 2017 World Series. The fallout from the scandal generated some pretty harsh feelings toward everyone involved — ownership, executives, coaches, players. And no one was spared.

It also generated some of the best Twitter comedy we’ve seen in quite some time. From banging on trash cans to cameras in center field to the (alleged) buzzers under the uniforms, we were there to experience it all.

Here are the funniest tweets about the Astros' cheating scandal.
