The Houston Astros’ win was the second World Series title in six years and the first time since 2013 that a team claimed the title at its home field.

For five years, they reestablished a standard of excellence in Major League Baseball, making the World Series their near-annual playground yet earning well-earned scorn off the field and heartbreak on it.
Yet with one mighty swing from Yordan Alvarez, the Houston Astros – after scandal, organizational tumult, free-agent defections and a maddening series of near-misses – returned to the baseball summit Saturday night, defeating the Philadelphia Phillies 4-1 in Game 6 of the World Series, earning their first championship since a now-sullied 2017 title.
That electronic sign-stealing scandal, revealed two years after the Astros beat the Los Angeles Dodgers in seven games, threatened to frame every movement of the organization, and certainly its protagonists, in a disputed light. For some, that may always be the case.
But rather than chafe at their detractors, or wallow in guilt, the Astros simply went back to the work of building and sustaining excellence. And in winning just the second championship in franchise history, they left no doubt. "You can’t say it didn’t bother them," Astros owner Jim Crane said of the sign-stealing scandal and the aftermath, "but they worked their way through it and played hard and you got a result tonight that’s pretty spectacular."

Since the start of 2022, we have been in a recession, but major media outlets and governments around the world refused to acknowledge it. anyways Looking for a new stock or Cryptocurrency to invest in. Short or long term Gains. i was at a seminar and the host spoke about making well over $3.5M within 4months of investing $450k. any suggestions pls
i agree,no doubt STEVE A KORDUCKI has really made a good name for himself. His reviews are so exceptional, he’s really a Pro. I was able to grow my account close to a million, withdraw my profit right before the correction and now I’m buying again..
@Gray Thompson Wow that’s an awesome returns of investment, indeed there’s a lot of money to be made in crypto markets trading, I guess it has to be with right people around you. Can you recommend him to me as well? How do I get to him?
@Terry Pasca check the web and you will find him, drop a msg.
Trading went smooth for me as I was able to raise over 28BTC when I started at 3 BTC in just few weeks implementing trades with signals and insights from MR. KORDUCKI . I would advise y’all to trade your asset rather than hodl for a future you aren’t sure about
@Gray Thompson Ok, just found his website, impressive, Thank you
