The Houston Astros defeated the Philadelphia Phillies 4–1 in the sixth final of baseball’s World Series.
In 2017, the Houston Astros won their first league title. But that victory came with cheating allegations, and made the club the most hated in MLB.
The club was forced to admit that they used technology to help, and that they tried to find out the opponents’ signals. With this year’s victory, the club is said to have received a clear profit.
Dusty Baker, the club’s coach, was not around that year. In fact, none of his 25 seasons as a coach in the MLB resulted in a title.
Baker has helped wash Houston’s reputation
— I have 2,000 wins and all they can talk about is that I haven’t won the World Series yet, he said on Thursday.
25-year-old Jeremy Peña was named the World Series Most Valuable Player, a first for a rookie.
