The new and improved Astros pitchers and catchers reported to their new complex in West Palm Beach, Florida. Players were catching up with smiles, laughs, focus, and on a mission. That mission is to avoid the dreaded World Series hangover that as history has told us, has affected many baseball teams.
The last team to win back to back World Series was the New York Yankees (1998-2000). That little tidbit of history ranks pretty low on the totem pole, with this enormously young and talented Astros team. The Astros could very well boast the best offense 1-9 and the best pitching rotation in all of baseball.
