This is the first World Series title for the Astros in 55 seasons.
Only the Cleveland Indians (69 years) and Texas Rangers (57 years) have had longer current
championship droughts than Houston. The Dodgers last won the Fall Classic in 1988.
This year's World Series has been full of power. The teams set the record for most home runs in a single World Series and dramatic comebacks.
Game 5 was the craziest of all, ending with a 13-12 Astros walk-off win in the 10th inning.
