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 State of Texas, 88th | |||||
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 from the Texas Senate. | |||||
