Baseball Players Apologize

Several Major League baseball players apologized today for what’s been called the “sign-stealing scandal.” Members of the Houston Astros team were caught impermissibly intercepting signals exchanged between members of their opposing teams. But you wouldn’t know that from their vague apologies. None of them specifically explain what they did that was wrong, or for what they are apologizing. They ask for forgiveness, but exactly what should be forgiven? One is left with the impression that they’re sorry because they got caught. It’s a good first step–it needs to happen–but so far they’re striking out.
