Hinch was suspended by baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred for a year in January 2020 and subsequently fired by owner Jim Crane for his role in the scheme that violated rules by using a video camera to steal catchers’ signs during Houston’s run to the 2017 World Series title and again in the 2018 season.
“I do believe that we did some good things in Houston,” Hinch said. “I do believe we were wrong in the behaviour and the decisions that we made in 2017, and it’s hard to have that cloud over the sport and be responsible for that and be the man that was that was the manager that it happened on my watch.”
“It’s something I take very seriously,” he said. “I will continue to apologize not only to the Houston fans, but to all the fans around baseball and continue to repeat how wrong it was. And for that, we’re going to have to live with that for the rest of our careers. It’s part of my story.” Remaining players that were on a team proven to have cheated have faced taunts of “cheaters," been subject to incessant boos and even had things thrown onto the field at them.
Aside from the team’s accomplishments and highlights on the field, one of Hinch’s most memorable moments with the Astros came in their first game at Minute Maid Park after Hurricane Harvey devastated the city in 2017.
And Pete Rose is still banned from MLB and the HOF.
