For the first time in franchise history, the Houston Astros are World Series champions. After beating the Los Angeles Dodgers 5 to 1 in Game 7 on Wednesday night (November 1), Astros’ fans erupted with celebrations following the historic victory — both on and off line.
Astros’ center fielder George Springer, who collected the Willie Mays World Series Most Valuable Player Award, told ESPN, “This is a dream come true and an honor. But it’s about the Houston Astros tonight, our city, our fans. That patch on our chests really does mean something. We’re coming home champions.”
Members of the Hip Hop community also came out in droves to show their support for the H-Town team, including Lil Wayne, Chamillionaire, Big Boi, an over-the-moon Paul Wall, Chuck D, DJ Premier, Big Sean, Travis Scott and Flavor Flav.
Check out their reactions below.
I am going to have to boycott the MLB because Houston is a racist city and they voted for Trump.
What does that have to do with baseball? Idiot! Stupid people like you always trying to bring politics into sports.
Houston is the most diverse city in America… How the fuck is it racist?
Fake News!!! LA is actually the most diverse city in the world!!!
What has diversity to do with racism? They cant hate each other because they all mixed together???
The Houston team also made faces at a Japanese player and called him a little Chinese boy!!! Fuck the racist MLB!!!
He is Cuban. Only white people aren’t allowed to be racist lol
Poor baby narel, sounds like you’re so quick to judge and you show no mercy to others, I’m sure life will turn out nice and peaceful for you.
Texas as a state did, but I highly doubt Houston as a CITY voted for Trump. Not that Hillary was much better.
Crazy series, H TOWN came out on top!
Salute to Houston. Hopefully, this starts a string of good luck for everyone in that area.
Congrats to the Astro’s. Hopefully my Dodgers will be in it next year.
