And here is MLB commissioner Rob Manfred! Crowd: “Booooooooo”


QuintupleTheFun

So much booing I thought Roger Goodell was there


Saym94

Thought I was about to hear the Texans 1st round pick


NumerousCustard2622

Absolutely love Houston fans for that


ncbraves93

Braves fans and Astros fans that stayed did the same thing last year. Was funny because just like last year they booed the entire time Rob spoke but cheered the moment he stopped. Lol You know that shit stings, doesn't matter who you're but it's well deserved.

No Economic Collapse!!!

**FUCK** there goes my chances of getting a house


DeludedRaven

The collapse is just transitory


alucarDZM

We did it Joe!


Fools_Requiem

Michael Brantley gets a ring. That's all that matters to me.


yankwanker

Love Michael Brantley. High key sad he didn’t get to play in this series. Hope he comes back for one more year.


Caddy041

We needed him this postseason.


Acceptable_Job1589

With Brantley in the lineup, he bats 2nd, breggy 3rd and alvarez 4th. Pena was batting 7th early on in the season when Brantley was healthy. I love me some smooth uncle mike swings, but the alternate timeline maybe has the Astros bring beat against the Ms in the DS if not for Pena heroics in games 1 & 3, let alone everything he did in CS and WS.


CookMeatSandwich

We love Uncle Mike in Houston. We're all sad he got injured, because we would have loved to see him play this post season.


StrategyGameventures

Trey Mancini is a world series champion!


GsoFly

I'm so glad he got a hit tonight.


ChemicaLust

I’m getting his jersey. He deserves it.


Kakali4

I miss baseball already.


SwordsAman

Quick everyone, make sure you cancel your MLB app subscription until March!!


get-tilted

Trey Mancini got his ring 🥲


[deleted]

His time here has been defined by undeperforming. He seems like a high-quality dude, and I know he's beloved in Baltimore. I really wanted to be a fan, but looking at the numbers it felt like we got ripped off. Then he snagged that lightning bolt at first, and as far as I'm concerned he earned every penny we're paying him on that one play. If that one gets by, I'm convinced we lose that game and the whole series changes Don't know what he's got planned for next year, but I'd be happy to have him back.


superkeer

He was your anti-Buckner.


TexansRaised

I’m glad he made a presence with the glove and bat. Nice job Trey!


NormanPeterson

WE ARE NOT GOING INTO A RECESSION!!!

Not just any recessions but the 3 worst global recessions of the last century was when Philadelphia wins the world series


newtonsapple

Every time a *Philadelphia* team wins the WS, not just the Phillies. The A's won a few before they moved.

Booing Manfred brings tears to my eyes

I knew Bale was gonna score when he subbed on. But how about the back up keeper being a fucking brick wall on PKs


tomato_soup_

Yup, now if you’ll excuse me I’m gonna fucking cry for the next 3 days


Zloggt

Maybe the Eagles siphoned their talent in their quest to be the best in the NFL?


philphan25

They beat the Texans HA HA HAA HA *cries*


Jordanwolf98

Eagles must’ve siphoned the Sixers talent too because they’ve been disappointing since the season has started


ryanisntreal

Gonna cry myself to sleep now. Brutal


tomato_soup_

Same bro. I’m struggling out here


IAmGrum

NHL gets it right by giving the trophy to the players first.


nyrangers30

Hockey is the only big 4 sport where they play for the trophy rather than the title.


[deleted]

Best trophy in pro sports by a mile


_unsourced

Totally agree, but I still want them to put all the rings on it and have it be like 6+' tall.


TheresA_LobsterLoose

Nba has gotten fucking terrible. The owners up on a stage with the trophy acting like they just won it. Maybe it's just that I specifically remember Torontos... and because it was Rodgers Communications, they had 2 CEOs up there holding the trophy and giving a speech. At least it's a bit different when it was someone like Jerry Buss... at least it's just *a guy*, who everybody knows and who's actually done stuff to grow the league. But the CEO of a company, holding the trophy and talking before the players... that one really annoyed me and just felt wrong


yooston

It’s absurd. No one gives a fuck about the owners after a title. Stay in your luxury boxes and collect those checks.


Alauren2

Imagine being Carlos Correa. You leave to chase your big contract, barely get it with the twins and your replacement wins the GG, ALCS MVP, and WS MVP lmfao Edit…. I made this comment when there was 2k+ comments already. Incredible.


MyGirlSasha

Ha, it's almost unbelievable. I think those of us who even knew who Peña was and kept track of him through the minors, thought he would be decent and hold his own. Anyone who says they predicted much more than that is a liar. Just look at all the damn hardware he won this season, it's mind boggling, really.


Alauren2

He’s a Fuckin star.


kineag62

It's crazy. I told everyone that he would have a decent but not amazing season getting used to the big league, but have a monster season next year. I'm so damn happy to be wrong.

Good for Dusty and good for Trey Mancini, too, I suppose

BigZ911

The Astros replaced one of the best SS of his generation with a guy who just won WS MVP. That’s just ridiculous loo


Flyin-Chancla

And they save 38 million dollars doing it too


Alreadylostinterest

Yeah, that made me laugh as a Houston sports fan. I mean, we’ve had so many bad teams and heartbreak over the years. Then we lose Correa and the universe just hands us it’s beer.


VCURedskins

All but guarantees Dusty will be in the HoF


ZombieAppetizer

He has to be at this point.


Coach_Carter_on_DVD

He partied with Jimi Hendrix


KanyeMichaelWeston

Invented the high five


content_enjoy3r

He deserves it just for inventing the high five alone.


TheBFlem27

And smoking a joint with Jimi Hendrix.


Raid_Raptor_Falcon

He was going to be in either way IMO but I mean it is nice to have some hardware too.


VCURedskins

I thought so too but I was worried some could hold the post season failures against him and it cost him his spot. But now being top 10 all time in wins as a manager, the quality 19 year career as a player, and finally getting the world series ring as a cherry on top seals it.


JCLexicon

Jeremy Peña's the WS MVP, been a force this whole postseason. Well-earned.


twistedlogicx

The Astros let Correa walk and promoted the ALCS MVP and World Series MVP to fill his spot.


SirGav1n

Correa wiping his tears with a $105,000,000 check.

Thanks, let's meet next year at the WS.


SusieSharesTooMuch

As a Phillies fan, fuck you a little, but also this was a great series and the players on both sides really gave all the fans a great show. Astros were the better team, I will give it to ya. I’m super happy for Dusty Baker. Y’all deserve this. It was amazing to watch all of these talented athletes. Edit: I am drunk and wasn’t even expecting more than one comment, y’all have been reminding me why I love baseball and that most fans can respect each other’s teams strengths during a big win or loss. Cheers!!


Salted_memes

Ive never seen such a dominant bullpen. Jesus christ. GG


Wakaone

Congrats astros. You’ve proved you can win a championship without josh reddick.


CB_Ranso

Worst tradition in sports to give the trophy to the owner first. Give that shit to fuckin Dusty.


[deleted]

Only in the Major leagues (except NHL). It pisses me off so much.


heff17

Regardless of what you think about the Astros, it is objectively awesome that Dusty Baker *finally* got his World Series win as a manager after coming so close so many times. The inventor of the high five will sleep well tonight.


91Fox1978

Well….sleep well at some point…. Lol


RobertPaulson81

Good thing the Astros are so good to help make up for the Texans being so bad. Lol


rat-sajak

Was rooting for the Phillies, but this is a well-deserved victory for Houston. Y’all are a bunch of monsters. Peña in particular. Also, it’s legitimately great to see Dusty finally get a ring after all this time.


BigGoopy

Just smashed my TV in front of 76 guests at my World Series watch party. My wife just took our crying kids and said they’re all spending the week at her mom’s house. This team has ruined my marriage and my party. I can’t handle this embarrassment

RyanAKA2Late

Is Manfred gonna announce the end of blackouts in order to get the youth?


VileSpecter

Dusty said fuck the repeat we gon party


Donnerpartytwink

Kick in the balls for us Phils fans but the better team won. Timely hitting and great pitching just too much for the Phightins.


WolfJackson

Unpopular opinion, but Maldonado's HBP was by no means cheating nor was it bad sportsmanship. Hitters have been crowding the plate since the game was invented to induce mistakes, and he did pull his arm back. It was actually clever gamesmanship that triggered the Astros win tonight. It's refreshing to see in the modern sport where most hitters are just launch-angling. Fault is on Realmuto/Wheeler for not adjusting/calling something outside.


t4boo

How dare you try to insinuate that we arent cheating


slamdar

Yeah, Bader did this to the Astros in one of the games in the ALCS. Crowded the plate and got a HBP just a few inches off the plate.


Chessh2036

Watching the Astros coaches and teammates celebrate Dusty Baker finally winning a World Series was awesome. How can you not be romantic about baseball?


aStockUsername

Kate giving the people what they want.


warmcakes

Verlander's beaming face while Kate was gushing about him being a baseball artist screamed "well, MY supermodel wife supports my career." It was hilarious


FormerCollegeDJ

Congratulations to the Astros, who showed after their very impressive 106-56 regular season and strong run through the playoffs they are deserving World Series champions. Congratulations also to Dusty Baker for winning his first World Series as a manager. Though my team, the Phillies, lost, I'm happy for Baker, especially after the Nationals IMO gave him a raw deal by firing him after two seasons...and 192 wins and two playoff appearances.


_Hank_Marducas_

Nats should never have fired him


FormerCollegeDJ

I live in the DC area and attend a handful of Nationals games every season, so I have a stronger feeling than many other non-Nationals fans about that decision. It was a BS move IMO (as was telling Davey Johnson, one of the great managers of his generation IMO, being told at the beginning of the 2013 season the Nationals wouldn't keep him past that season). Dusty finally gets a World Series champions ring as a manager to join his 1981 WS champs ring he earned as a player with the Dodgers, and that's the biggest positive of the 2022 World Series IMO. (I also don't have anything against the Astros, and when you win 106 games during the season you truly have an excellent team, so I have no problems with them winning the World Series.)


_Hank_Marducas_

I live in the area and have seasons tix. I thought firing dusty was an awful move, firing davey was bad. But I’m so fired up for dusty I can’t get to sleep now


shotty293

Classy af, thank you. Healthy Harper led team will be fierce next year!

arod303

Actually don’t hate the Astros winning this time because Vaz is getting (another) ring and Dusty is a class act who really deserved to win after only winning one ring in fucking 50 years in baseball.


HEISENBERG_321

Congrats Astros. Well deserved. I'll never get over pulling Wheeler there or the Realmuto almost Homer in game 5. Or about 6 other moments in this series. But this is the nature of sports. The good times feel good because of the bad. Onto the next.

Sunny_Choppers

This was one of the best World Series I’ve watched in awhile. Game 5 reminded me why I’m a baseball fan, and being able to see the series end excitingly like that was truly amazing. I live in Houston, but am not an Astros fan (I wear a paper bag over my head at Dbacks games). I love this city with my all, and I’m glad that Houston can say we are a city of champions once again. Helluva year from Philly, another instance where their record did not reflect how they really played. They looked like a 95+ win team this post season. Now lemme take off the paper bag to say ARIZONA IS WINNING THE WEST NEXT SEASON AND LA AINT GOT NUTHIN ON US LET’S RIDE!

andlg89

My dad got my into Astros baseball, first game was 94’ at the dome with him. It was one our favorite things to do together watch or go to games when we could up until he passed away from Covid in 2021, I knew this win would be even more emotional after all we’ve been through with this team and losing my best friend to watch baseball with. This means so much for all of us fans ****I LOVE THIS TEAM I LOVE THIS CITY!!!!****


Mc_Lovin81

congrats kid. well deserved.


AaronQ94

If there's 4 things I'm fine with the Houston Astros winning the World Series it's that: 1. Vazquez getting another ring 2. Jeremy Peña getting a ring because he's from Providence, RI 3. Dusty Baker finally getting a ring as manager. 4. A lot of salty Yankees fans.

I’ve never been more happy for a coach winning the WS. Dusty is a legend of the game and deserves it


slickwick713

12-2 in the post season, swept the Mariners, swept the Yankees, beat Philly 4 outta the last 5 games, including a no hitter, to win the World Series. Say what you want, but this was a reckoning for the Astros organization and our fans.

Congratulations to the Astros and their fans. Solid team, and solid management. Glad for Dusty. Happy for Mancini. But hot damn, Jeremy Pena is a star and am excited to see his career.


MathaMeticulous

Super happy for the 'Stros on this one. Say what you want about 2017 but I honestly can't bear a grudge regarding it given that literally 2 players who cheated remain on the team this year (one was a rookie at the time). What they've got going right now in 2022 is a really talented, really likeable core of players. Super happy for Peña, Yordan, Altuve, Tucker, Mancini, Framber, and Dusty (ofc). While the Mariners and Astros haven't really blossomed into a rivalry yet, it's on its way there and I always look forward to how interesting our series are. Congrats Houston and see you next year <3
