Everything about this video is perfect.
The hit. The crowd. The police officer celebrating. Pettis with his arms in the air. Sad Mariners. Orbit with the flag. The Astros photog and video crew. The players going nuts. Dusty's hug.
Jose Altuve is the ONLY player in MLB history to have 3 go-ahead postseason home runs in the 9th inning or later.
Each time, the Astros won that game.
-Game 2 2017 World Series
-Game 6 2019 ALCS
-Game 5 2023 ALCS
In 5 years.
Two World Championships.
Four AL Pennants
An MVP, Cy Young winners, Gold Gloves, Silver Sluggers, All-stars.
All mostly homegrown.
The Astros are a dynasty, and every team will try to copy them.
Astros longtime groundskeeper Willie Berry got to witness the first combined no-hitter in World Series history.
The Astros flew up team employees to the game in Philadelphia. (IG

The population of Greater Houston is around 7.2 million people.
An estimated 2 million people showed up to the Astros World Series parade.
That means 28% of the Houston area celebrated the Astros downtown today 😳
Thinking about the moment that Dusty Baker won his first World Series as a manager.
He calmly sat, took a breath, wrote the final out, and was rushed by his team.
Thank you Dusty 🫡
I figured out what Bryce Harper said to Alec Bohm before he hit a homer off Lance McCullers Jr.
Phillies were doing something very sneaky. Watch and listen to my commentary.
The Astros are the bad guys…
They sign a retired manager and give him a chance to thrive.
They develop and support prospects over paying big free agent prices.
They give housing to minor leaguers.
They value international players.
I mean, that’s so evil… right?
Astros fans, I have a favor to ask.
We need every Astros fan on their feet giving Altuve a standing ovation at his first at-bat.
Make every Apple Watch have an excessive noise notification.
Make ears hurt.
Please let Jose Altuve know he's the greatest Astro of all time.
This was tough to watch. Correa had a moment on the field before the game to wave at fans, because this could be his last regular season game at home in Minute Maid Park.

Back in 2022, Julio Rodriquez hit a home run off Hector Neris and celebrated all around the bases.
That might have left a bad taste in Neris's mouth.
Tonight, Neris told JRod to sit down.
Here are both videos.
The Astros announced that Geoff Blum, Todd Kalas, Julia Morales, Robert Ford, Steve Sparks, Francisco Romero, and Alex Treviño will be returning for the 2023 season!!!!!!!!!
On a Tuesday night in 1993, Dusty Baker got his first win as a manager. There was a Peña, Jeremy's dad, in the opposing team's lineup.
On a Tuesday night, 29 years and 2,000 wins later, there was a Peña again in a lineup.
Father and son with 2 hits each - 29 years apart.
Several players have come forward publicly to say that multiple teams were cheating with enhanced sign-stealing schemes, that the Astros were scapegoated.
Here's a thread of players:
