Two Cleveland Guardians pitchers charged with betting on pitches: 'They betrayed America's pastime'

Two pitchers from the Cleveland Guardians, including closer Emmanuel Clase, have been indicted for betting on the outcomes of their own pitches, specifically wagering that Clase would throw balls instead of strikes. This scandal, which reportedly allowed bettors to win at least $400,000, raises serious concerns about the integrity of the sport and has been described as a betrayal of America's pastime. The implications of such actions could undermine public trust in baseball and its players.
