  • The Astros' Sign-Stealing Scandal
    The Astros’ Sign-Stealing Scandal Major League Baseball (MLB) fosters an extremely competitive environment. Tens of millions of dollars in salary (and endorsements) can hang in the balance, depending on whether a player performs well or poorly. Likewise, hundreds of millions of dollars of value are at stake for the owners as teams vie for World Series glory. Plus, fans, players and owners just want their team to win. And everyone hates to lose! It is no surprise, then, that the history of big-time baseball is dotted with cheating scandals ranging from the Black Sox scandal of 1919 (“Say it ain’t so, Joe!”), to Gaylord Perry’s spitter, to the corked bats of Albert Belle and Sammy Sosa, to the widespread use of performance enhancing drugs (PEDs) in the 1990s and early 2000s. Now, the Houston Astros have joined this inglorious list. Catchers signal to pitchers which type of pitch to throw, typically by holding down a certain number of fingers on their non-gloved hand between their legs as they crouch behind the plate. It is typically not as simple as just one finger for a fastball and two for a curve, but not a lot more complicated than that. In September 2016, an Astros intern named Derek Vigoa gave a PowerPoint presentation to general manager Jeff Luhnow that featured an Excel-based application that was programmed with an algorithm. The algorithm was designed to (and could) decode the pitching signs that opposing teams’ catchers flashed to their pitchers. The Astros called it “Codebreaker.” One Astros employee referred to the sign- stealing system that evolved as the “dark arts.”1 MLB rules allowed a runner standing on second base to steal signs and relay them to the batter, but the MLB rules strictly forbade using electronic means to decipher signs.

  • Police Chief the City of Corpus Christi, Texas
    POLICE CHIEF THE CITY OF CORPUS CHRISTI, TEXAS PUBLIC SECTOR EXECUTIVE RECRUITMENT THE COMMUNITY The City of Corpus Christi is a beautiful costal city in the South Texas region, located 130 miles southeast of San Antonio. Known as the “Sparkling City by the Sea,” Corpus Christi is the Nueces County Seat, and one of the largest seaports in the United States. Spanish explorer Alonzo Alvarez de Pineda discovered the area in 1519 and settlers incorporated the city in 1852. Over the years, Corpus Christi has grown into a regional hub for marketing, processing, packaging, and distribution of agricultural commodities. Additionally, the City’s economy is diverse with a blend of various business and industries, including petrochemical, tourism, health care, retail, education, shipping, agriculture, and the military. Today, the City of Corpus Christi is the eighth largest city in Texas and the 61st largest city in the US, with a population of 327,406 based on the City’s 2020 estimate. Area attractions include the Padre Island National Seashore, Texas State Aquarium, and the USS Lexington, a retired WWII aircraft carrier, the American Bank Center, and an entertainment complex that offers an auditorium, convention center, and arena. Additionally, Corpus Christi serves as the home of Texas A&M University Islander Basketball, IceRays Hockey and AF2 Sharks football. Corpus Christi is also home to the Corpus Christi Hooks, a minor league baseball team of the Texas League, the Double-A affiliate of the Houston Astros baseball team. Citizens have access to a wide variety of arts and culture facilities and world class museums.

  • San Antonio Missions National Historical Park (PDF)
    A fact sheet from 2017 Marcia Argust/The Pew Charitable Trusts Repairing door beams at Mission San José—one of the four protected within the park—is part of a $7.4 million maintenance backlog. Carol Highsmith/Library of Congress San Antonio Missions National Historical Park Texas Overview San Antonio Missions National Historical Park is one of America’s cultural treasures, designated in 2015 as a UNESCO World Heritage site. The park preserves four Spanish frontier missions built in the 1700s for Franciscan friars who hoped to convert the Native Americans to Catholicism. Over time, the Spanish and local tribes built a new culture in what is now South Texas. Drawing more than a million visitors a year, the park is also a boon to San Antonio’s economy. But it faces a maintenance backlog of $7.3 million that includes restoring the missions and key infrastructure. Maintenance challenges The park’s most urgent repairs are to its historic buildings and visitor center. The center is more than 20 years old and needs more than a half-million dollars to update its interpretive displays. Nearly $400,000 is needed to repair the office and sacristy of the Franciscan father-president, who oversaw development of the missions. A compound where Native Americans lived, and the walls that encircle it, also requires restoration at a cost of $600,000. Repair needs go beyond the buildings that define San Antonio Missions. Several parking lots are showing their age and require almost a million dollars to resurface, and its water and communication systems are deteriorating and must be replaced.
