Toronto Blue Jays Which is the most iconic home run in Jays history: Joe Carter's walk-off in '93 or Jose Bautista's bat flip?

Full disclosure: I've had to write six of these so far, and I've loved doing all of them. This is the seventh, and it terrifies me.

We're getting into a touchy area here for me personally. I am a lifelong Midwesterner who was born in Missouri and attended Mizzou, though I was actually raised in Iowa. Members of my family are C...
Another possible explanation: The players aren't sorry because they think a lot of the league is doing similar stuff and they feel like they've been unfairly singled out.
Astros got caught but lots of players have hinted that it wasn’t just the Astros. It would have been worse for the whole league if half of the teams were cheating, which is motive to cover up for other teams and scapegoat the Astros.
