The Astros won the 2017 World Series. Something I didn’t think I would ever see you in my life. The last time they were in the World Series was 2005 and got swept by the White Sox. That was the last baseball season my dad got to watch. He passed away in 2006 a few months after the Astros lost. He loved baseball and was a huge Astros fan. He had such great knowledge of the game and all of its ins-and-outs. I tried to see the game like he did and enjoy its every little nuance.
