Altuve booed, nicked by pitch in spring debut for Astros
LAKELAND, Fla. (AP) — José Altuve was loudly booed, called a cheater and even plunked by a pitch in his spring training debut for the Houston Astros. Altuve and some of his high-profile teammates played on the road for the first time in the exhibition season, beating the Detroit Tigers 11-1 in Lakeland, Florida. The fans heckled the Astros who were implicated in the sign-stealing scandal that has rocked baseball. Elsewhere in spring training, Gerrit Cole struck out two in a hitless inning during his debut for the New York Yankees and Mookie Betts got two hits for the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Creators of original Phanatic call redesign ‘an affront’

Creators of original Phanatic call redesign ‘an affront’
NEW YORK (AP) — The creators of the original Phillie Phanatic accused the Philadelphia Phillies of “an affront to our intellectual property rights and to Phillies fans everywhere” with the team’s redesign of the 42-year-old mascot. The Phillies unveiled the redesign of the green mascot before Sunday’s exhibition game against Pittsburgh. Philadelphia sued Harrison/Erickson, the New York company that created the Phanatic, last August in U.S. District Court in Manhattan. The team alleged Harrison/Erickson threatened to terminate the Phillies’ rights to the Phanatic as of June 15 and “make the Phanatic a free agent” unless the team renegotiated its 1984 rights deals.
