I don't think they proved anything about Astros cheating specifically in the WS. Especially when they won the final away games in LA itself. They also made it back to the WS after the cheating stopped in the 2018 season, for 2019. Interestingly there seems to be very very little rage upon the Red Sox as well, who were caught cheating too, yet didn't incur the same wrath.

The cheating sucks, yes, but that doesn't take anything away from the greatness of the players, or a win for a city that needed it the most. LA Times can howl afoul all they want, especially when it's their city that they're defending the honor of, but there is no doubt in my mind that cheating in the season or not, Houston winning the WS in 2017 was something the people [cont]

here needed, after the hurricane. And our first WS win filled that hole. The Astros won, and I'll carry that joy forever.

Red Sox were fined. Likely Cora will get fired.

But their WS isn't getting called into question nor has it become as much a media circus as the Astros. Heck, Red Sox used pine tar dripping off their faces in 2018 WS and no one cared...even if it was against the rules

Red Sox apple watch scandal happened in 2017 not 2018.
Pine Tar I think everyone knows and is okay/not okay with it even the teams they are playing against.
