Astronomical! Emotional Houston Astros win their first ever World Series with a resounding 5-1 victory over the LA Dodgers - as they dedicate title to Hurricane Harvey victims
Daily Mail/UK, Nov 1, 2017

It took over half a century, but the Houston Astros are finally World Series champions and it could not have come at a better time for the region.

Less than three months after the Gulf Coast was slammed by Hurricane Harvey, and with his players wearing an 'H Strong' logo on their jerseys, Astros owner Jim Crane dedicated the Commissioner's Trophy to the victims.

'This one is for Houston back there at home and the region,' Crane said afterwards. 'Got hit hard; everyone was behind us.'

While the trophy was dedicated to the fans, it was Astros center fielder George Springer who did most of the heavy lifting. 

Not only did Springer tie a Fall Classic record on Wednesday with his fifth home run in the series, but he also led the game off with a double to left before ultimately scoring on a throwing error by Dodgers first baseman Cody Bellinger.

Last night's game was excellent...Springer was unbelievable and received a well deserved Willie Mays MVP award!

His only screw up was when he thought he could get that ball hit to shallow center and it got past him for a triple.

His hitting certainly won the series.
