As a fan of Major League Baseball I grew up loving, playing and watching the sport like many American's. With the suspensions of AJ Hinch and Jeff Luhnow (formerly of the Houston Astros) it is clear that some sort of sign stealing and cheating occurred during the 2017 Major League Baseball season.

Currently Major League Baseball is attempting to investigate this issue internally and I believe that this has caused some bias in the investigation. I feel that what is best for baseball as a whole is not the bottom dollar or perception of the league, but the truth of what happened during that season. I believe that an internal investigation has the potential to try and do "what's best" for the entirety of the league instead of uncovering and documenting the exact truth of what happened.

In addition, I believe that bringing in a 3rd party will allow for investigation into players that have could have cheated and would allow for players to clear their name ,or to be punished in accordance with their role.

I urge baseball fans to sign this petition to require Major League Baseball to bring in a 3rd party to investigate the cheating allegations against the Houston Astros.
