Houston Astros: In H-Town, the D-word absolutely applies

The Houston Astros are the talk of the town. The team won the World Series. There are many Astros' shirts, hats, flags and banners everywhere. Dusty Baker's team is the best in the world. The Houston Chronicle and ESPN consistently promote the team. On Monday, an estimated 1 million people gathered to celebrate the victory. It's a feeling shared by the whole city. Jim Crane wants it. He wants to keep it going. In the past, he hated the Boston Celtics and the Los Angeles Lakers. Now he likes it a lot. They won too much. His team, the Astros, are an undisputed dynasty.

The Houston Astros won the World Series in 2017. The team has overcome the hate and loathing in recent years. If the team wins the whole thing again next year, the national debate will last as long as it takes to say a dynasty. The last real dynasty in the grand ol’ game was the Joe Torre and Derek Jeter Yankees. Golden State Warriors have maintained a franchise core of Steve Kerr, Bob Myers, Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green. New England Patriots were a modern NFL dynasty for almost two decades. San Francisco Giants won it all in 2010, ’12 and ‘14.

The Houston Astros are proud of their team and their history.

The D-word applies in Houston.

The Houston Astros are a dynasty in Houston.
