Bob Bertoni, head of District 16/31 Little League is recommending that no teams in the 23 leagues he oversees use the Astros team name this season after it was discovered Houston took a live camera feed to steal signs en route to a 2017 World Series title.

The Orange County Register reported last week that two Little League communities in Southern California banned the Astros name for the upcoming season.
