||
| WHEREAS, The Houston Astros closed out a historic campaign by | ||
| winning the Major League Baseball World Series on November 5, 2022, | ||
| collecting the team's second championship; and | ||
| WHEREAS, After a remarkable regular season in which they | ||
| collected 106 wins and the American League West Division crown, the | ||
| Astros advanced through their first two playoff series without | ||
| losing a single contest; the three-game triumph over the Seattle | ||
| Mariners concluded with a marathon battle that stretched to 18 | ||
| innings before Houston scored the winning run; the team followed | ||
| with a dominating 4-0 sweep of the New York Yankees to reach the | ||
| World Series for the second straight year and for the fifth time in | ||
| franchise history; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Matching up against the Philadelphia Phillies in the | ||
| Fall Classic, the Astros staged a thrilling comeback, rallying from | ||
| a 2-1 series deficit to reel off three consecutive victories; the | ||
| team silenced the Phillies fans at Citizens Bank Park in Game 4 | ||
| thanks to a historic performance by pitchers Cristian Javier, Bryan | ||
| Abreu, Rafael Montero, and Ryan Pressly, who combined for the first | ||
| World Series no-hitter since 1956; following a nail-biting 3-2 win | ||
| in Game 5, the Astros took the field for Game 6 at Minute Maid Park | ||
| with a chance to clinch the title; Framber Valdez gave up just one | ||
| run in six innings, and Yordan Alvarez smashed a three-run homer in | ||
| the sixth inning to put the Astros up for good; when the final out | ||
| was recorded for the 4-1 victory, the Houston faithful celebrated | ||
| the organization's second World Series crown in six seasons; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The Astros were led by Jeremy Peña, who was named MVP | ||
| of both the American League Championship Series and the World | ||
| Series; another beloved hero of the 2022 campaign was manager Dusty | ||
| Baker, who captured the first World Series title of his coaching | ||
| career after compiling more than 2,000 victories with five | ||
| different teams; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The 2022 Houston Astros have burnished the | ||
| organization's reputation as a modern baseball dynasty, and this | ||
| unforgettable championship season will be celebrated by the team's | ||
| countless fans for many years to come; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the Senate of the 88th Texas Legislature | ||
| hereby congratulate the Houston Astros on winning the 2022 Major | ||
| League Baseball World Series and extend to the team's players, | ||
| coaches, and staff sincere best wishes for continued success; and, | ||
| be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
| prepared for the Astros organization as an expression of high | ||
| regard by the Texas Senate. | ||
