One of the biggest Twitter trolls of the Houston Astros has been unmasked. The account titled “2020 Astros Shame Tour” popped up almost overnight and its intent was clear from the very beginning. When it was first created, it wasn’t clear who was behind the posting but whoever it was wanted to make sure the Astros were taunted and punished in the only way he could, for their sign-stealing fiasco in 2017.
The Los Angeles Times‘ Chuck Schilken recently talked to the man behind the Twitter account that has grown to have more than 100,000 followers, almost all new additions since the start of Spring Training. While there have been guesses about who the person is, the true story isn’t some massive surprise reveal. Brendan Donley isn’t an alternate personality for Trevor Bauer as the account once joked.
