LOS ANGELES – George Springer has spent the past six seasons enduring a cacophony of boos whenever he plays a road game, lingering fallout from his role in the 2017 Houston Astros ’ sign-stealing scandal, uncovered publicly in 2019.

This is the city where stars are born. Eight years ago, George Springer put on a career-defining performance, winning the 2017 World Series MVP for the Astros with a stretch of games at Dodger Stadium that cemented him as one of the game’s great young outfielders.

George Springer is carrying over his hot hitting into the World Series after his epic Game 7 home run in the ALCS for the Toronto Blue Jays. He started Game 2 vs. the Los Angeles Dodgers with another hit as his wife Charlise Springer went nuts cheering him on.

Fansspeculate Yoshinobu Yamamoto intentionally targeted George Springer recalling lingering Astros sign-stealing scandal suspicions.
