Things like this are what makes sports fun, and something that doesn’t need 100-percent seriousness all of the time, even when the game being waited for is a huge AFC South showdown. The Astros have been the best team as of late when it comes to Houston sports with them winning the World Series in 2017 for the first time in franchise history, then returning to the Fall Classic this year.

The Astros will be facing the Washington Nationals, the champions of the National League, when the World Series starts next week.
