World Series 2021: Why Houston Astros shortstop Carlos Correa is made for October

HOUSTON -- IT'S CARLOS CORREA's time.

And the 2021 Astros are his team. The 27-year-old shortstop is on a mission to win another World Series as the leader of an often maligned Astros' organization while the clock ticks to his free agency.

So don't expect him to back down now that the Atlanta Braves struck first with a Game 1 win on Tuesday night. If you see Correa pointing at his wrist after a big hit in Game 2 -- as he did against the Red Sox in the last round, sparking an ALCS controversy -- you'll understand why.
