A worthy enough of a protagonist ideally will have an equally worthy villain to overcome on their journey. An underdog with sound morals weighed down with inexperience, but lifted by potential, might be matched up against a naturally talented juggernaut, proudly bearing no scruples and suffering none for it. It would be easy for a Seattle Mariners fan to slot the team of their affection into this protagonist role, and in doing so have a perfect fit in the juggernaut rival of the Houston Astros. The Houston Astros of course being a team that frustratingly cheated their way to winning a World Series, had a major chip on their shoulder about it, and then still were talented enough to win it again without cheating but with the remaining smugness.
The Seattle Mariners rally together and sweep the Houston Astros with a 7-6 win, because that is their baseball way
