LOS ANGELES — Astronaut Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk on the moon in 1969.
Astros shortstop Carlos Correa became the first man to nearly bat-flip to the moon during a World Series game in 2017.
One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind's…bat!
It came during Game 2 of this crank-up-the-fun Dodgers-Astros World Series, an epic match now racing toward Game 6 Tuesday night in Dodger Stadium with the pure, unbridled joy of youthful innocence. Conspicuously absent is any trace of old-school venom from the grumps who would disapprove of anything close to celebratory.
