After winning the 2017 World Series, the Houston Astros were able to avoid a disappointing season. The 2018 season saw the team put up a franchise record in wins and saw many players have career years while others struggled through injury after injury.
Sure, it would have been nice to see the Astros be the first team to go back-to-back in nearly two decades but that is a nearly impossible task. But, what was seen may have been an even better sign than just winning two championships. Houston proved this year that they’re here to stick around for the long haul.
