Houston Wins World Series Crown Thursday, November 2nd , 2023 Sometimes the winner is the one who got the lucky bounces and the lucky calls, and sometimes the winner is just the one who played better. It was the latter case in 2023, as the Houston Astros topped the Los Angeles Dodgers 8-6 tonight at Dodger Stadium to win the World Series. It was the 3rd title in franchise history. "When you play for championships, you have to play better than the team in the other dugout. We did that in this series, and all year. Now we're the best team in baseball," said Houston second baseman Jose Altuve, who was named series MVP. The Astros took the series 4-1. The new titleholders completed the regular season with a first-place finish in the American Division and a 99-69 record. Houston manager Dave D. Double Dip #1 grinned and nodded when asked to comment on Altuve's words. "Jose said it best -- we played better than the other team," the skipper said. Hometown officials announced they were already planning a "grand celebration" for the winners in the days to come. View Boxscore View Game Log Watch Highlights |
