Get the hunter houstonmug. The Houston Astros are a Major League Baseball team that plays in the American League West Division. They cheated their way to a World Series win in 2017 with a center field camera and by banging a trash can to let the batter know what pitch was coming. In 2018, they traded in the trash can for a buzzer that 5’6” Jose Altuve from Hobbiton stuck up his butt. The Astros have long been known to have something dirty on MLB commissioner Robb Manfred, as he let them keep the trophy, the trash cans and even the butt buzzers.
