October 28, 2017 For Immediate Release: Contact: Jerome Parra, (916) 319-2018, [email protected] CA Asian and Pacific Islander Legislative Caucus Condemns Racist Gesture Made During World Series Game and MLB punishment Sacramento – Assemblymember Rob Bonta, Chair of the California Asian Pacific Islander (API) Legislative Caucus, issued the following statement in response to Major League Baseball’s decision to delay punishing Houston Astros’ first baseman Yuli Gurriel for making a racist gesture during Game 3 of the World Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers. “During Game 3 of the World Series, Houston Astros player Yuli Gurriel pulled at the corner of his eyes to stretch them into ‘slanted eyes’ after hitting a home run off of Los Angeles Pitcher Yu Darvish, a player of Iranian-Japanese descent. This offensive gesture was seen by millions of people and has no place in sports or in society at large. It was particularly hurtful to Asian American communities who are the targets of these racist acts. We fully condemn this act and expect better sportsmanship from professional athletes. “We are also deeply disappointed in Major League Baseball’s decision to delay the 5-game suspension until next season. This minimizes the punishment and raises the question of whether MLB takes this offense seriously. Suspending Gurriel during the World Series would leave no doubt that this behavior carries serious consequences and will not be tolerated.” The California Asian Pacific Islander Legislative Caucus represents and advocates for the interests of the diverse API communities throughout California. It seeks to increase Asian Pacific Islander participation and representation in all levels of government. Website of the California API Legislative Caucus: http://apicaucus.legislature.ca.gov ### .

November 3, 2017 Mr. Rob Manfred Commissioner, Major League Baseball 245 Park Avenue, 31st Floor New York, NY 10167 Dear Commissioner Manfred: As Chair of the California Asian Pacific Islander (API) Legislative Caucus, I am writing to express my anger and disappointment about the way Major League Baseball (MLB) addressed the racist gesture and insult Yuli Gurriel of the Houston Astros made toward Yu Darvish, who is Iranian-Japanese, of the Los Angeles Dodgers during Game 3 of the World Series. After hitting a home run off of Darvish, Gurriel pulled at the corner of his eyes to stretch them into “slanted eyes”. Gurriel also called Darvish “Chinito,” a Spanish word widely-regarded as offensive and insulting to Asian Americans. This behavior was caught on camera and seen by millions of television viewers worldwide, including impressionable children who look up to their teams and sports heroes. In spite of public outrage, the MLB made the decision to allow Gurriel to continue playing in the World Series and delay imposition of disciplinary action until the 2018 regular season—a full five months into the distant future—when he would be suspended for five games. The lack of immediate consequences and accountability shows that the MLB does not take racial insensitivity seriously and that offenses like this can be repeated without severe repercussions. In rendering its decision, the MLB purported to take into account the negative impact that an immediate suspension would likely have on Gurriel’s teammates. But the MLB did not take into consideration the deep hurt this patently offensive act inflicted on Asian Americans and others throughout the nation.

How Scansis Functions: Lessons from the Houston Astros Sign-Stealing Crisis
Relevant Rhetoric, Vol. 12 (2021): How Scansis Functions How Scansis Functions: Lessons from the Houston Astros Sign-Stealing Crisis Karen L. Hartman LeAnne W. Woods Associate Professor Graduate Student Idaho State University Idaho State University [email protected] [email protected] Relevant Rhetoric, Vol. 12 (2021): How Scansis Functions On January 13, 2020 Major League Baseball (MLB) Commissioner, Robert D. Manfred Jr., released investigation findings confirming that the Houston Astros illegally used a video camera system to electronically steal signs during the 2017 regular season and postseason, in which they won the World Series, and early in the 2018 regular season. The findings exposed what has been referred to as “one of the biggest scandals in Major League Baseball history.”1 MLB eventually fined the organization $5 million and the Astros were forced to forfeit their first and second round draft picks in 2020 and 2021. The team’s owner, Jim Crane, also fired the general manager, Jeff Luhnow, and manager, A. J. Hinch. In this paper we analyze Major League Baseball’s Houston Astros organizational rhetoric and crisis response efforts after the organization was found guilty of cheating. Analysis spans from the beginning of the crisis on November 12, 2019 through March 12, 2020 and items analyzed include two Houston Astro press conferences and news stories published across 20 media outlets. By viewing the crisis as a “scansis,” a unique type of crisis and scandal characterized by moral outrage, the authors hope to further the

(pág. 7) !1 15 DE JUNIO DE 2018 ! CRÓNICAS Y REPORTAJES Los restaurantes privados están entre los más afectados por el racionamiento en las cantidades de productos en Villa Clara. (Cal) "La carne no está llegando y se espera que llegue menos" 14ymedio, Santa Clara | Junio 11, 2018 Los mercados de Villa Clara amanecieron este lunes bajo nuevas medidas de control en la venta de alimentos. Las autoridades locales impusieron precios topados en los mercados agrícolas y han racionado los productos liberados en toda la provincia a raíz de los daños provocados por la tormenta subtropical Alberto. La medida, acordada el pasado 7 de junio, provoca opiniones contrapuestas entre los residentes de la región. Algunos la reciben como una solución a corto plazo para el desabastecimiento de comida, pero otros temen que se prolongue en el tiempo y potencie el mercado negro. El Consejo de Administración Provincial (CAP) de Villa Clara justificó los nuevos controles como una manera de "evitar el acaparamiento y la especulación", según una información publicada en la prensa local.
