In 2014, Ben Reiter, then a Sports Illustrated baseball writer, wrote a cover story predicting that the Houston Astros, one of Major League Baseball's worst teams, would win the World Series in three years. After the Astros fulfilled his prediction in 2017, Reiter detailed the team's rise in his book Astroball. When it was discovered that the Astros had operated an elaborate sign stealing system that many viewed as cheating, Reiter set out to uncover the truth of the scandal with a six-part podcast. With Bo and Farrell, Reiter discusses the nuances of cheating in baseball and golf and how the podcast gave him a second chance of getting the story right.
