Apparently, cheating in baseball can land you more than three years in jail.That's what we learned Monday when former St. Louis Cardinals executive Chris Correa—who pleaded guilty in January to hacking the Houston Astros' player data base—was sentenced to 42 months in prison after he admitted to violating the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA).Correa apparently is the first person from a sports organization to be convicted of violating the CFAA while on the job.

A little over a year ago, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Department of Justice found evidence that suggested executives with Major League Baseball's St. Louis Cardinals had breached a network maintained by their longtime rivals, the Houston Astros.On Monday, the Justice Department revealed that former Cardinals' director of baseball development Christopher Correa had been sentenced to 46 months behind bars after pleading guilty in January to five counts of unauthorized access of a protected computer.U.S. District Judge Lynn N. Hughes for the Southern District of Texas said Correa has made it harder for other baseball teams to live their lives (referring to the fact that teams will now need to have tighter security).
