Yeah but wished LA Dodgers would have had Vin Scully announcing this. And winning to go out on top. Too bad he is retired.

Vince Scully one of the best ever. I also occasionally like to listen to MLB on radio, we Indians fans have had a few good ones!

I called it early on as the playoffs began-watch out for the Astros. Never thought I'd see 'em win in my lifetime. I remember the really bad early years of the Colt 45s.

I watched the last 3 innings, the only thing I did watch all series plus the celebration. Now waiting for the pitchers and catchers to report.
GO TRIBE!

Ordered my WS Championship T-shirt since I don't plan to stick around for another 55 years to get another.
Then again what's the documented world record for longest living human? 122 + years?
I'm shooting for the new record then.

See you there next year, fellow Tribe fans.

Only if they can get over two straight years of choking in the clutch.

It is two straight years, but it actually 3 times in a row. They also blew a 3-1 lead in 2007 vs. Boston.

Did not know that. Ouch!
Astros went 0-4 in their only other WS appearance. This year was the first time they ever won a WS game, let alone 4 games.

One of the greatest games in WS history was the Pirates walk off homer by Bill Mazeroski to win the series 4-3 over the Maris/Mantle Yankees in 1960 with that 10-9 game. The following year Maris and Mantle had their record breaking HR team winning the WS in 1961 and another in 1962.
I think game 5 in the Dodgers-Astros series ranks right up there with that game. It included three Dodger leads tied up by the Astros and an Astros lead tied up in the 9th with a 3 run inning highlighted by Puig's 2 run homer. The Astros finally won it in the bottom of the 10th 13-12 on a 2 out walk off single. A lot of very dramatic 3 run homers from both sides in that game, especially Altuve's to tie it in the 5th after fouling off a prior 3-2 count pitch over the fence in left field.
Here is the full version is you just want to watch it as a fan of baseball:
And the highlights version if you just want Cliff Notes
