Former Astro Shares He Just Wants A Ring He Can Be Proud Of

Right-handed pitcher, Joe Musgrove, shares that 5 years later, he's not proud of his 2017 championship ring because of that cheating scandal with Houston.

Joe Musgrove and his Padres, like all the other 11 remaining teams, are fighting for that World Series title. The runner-up to the NL West Champion Dodgers wants it bad, but Musgrove just simply wants a championship and a ring he can be proud of.

Doesn't he already have one? Yes.

But the right-handed pitcher made it very clear like other players of that 2017 Houston Astros team that they're just simply not proud of it. Of course, that team was accused of and punished for a massive sign stealing operation that was running up to and through the postseason. Some players have apologized for the sign-stealing scandal, but not all.

In a recent article from the AP News, Musgrove had this to say about that tainted championship ring.

"I still don’t feel great about wearing that ring around or telling people that I was a World Series champion on that team...I want one that feels earned and that was a true championship. So that’s the goal.”
