SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 10
WHEREAS, The Houston Astros closed out a historic campaign
by winning the Major League Baseball World Series on
November 5, 2022, collecting the team's second championship; and
WHEREAS, After a remarkable regular season in which they
collected 106 wins and the American League West Division crown,
the Astros advanced through their first two playoff series
without losing a single contest; the three-game triumph over the
Seattle Mariners concluded with a marathon battle that stretched
to 18 innings before Houston scored the winning run; the team
followed with a dominating 4-0 sweep of the New York Yankees to
reach the World Series for the second straight year and for the
fifth time in franchise history; and
WHEREAS, Matching up against the Philadelphia Phillies in
the Fall Classic, the Astros staged a thrilling comeback,
rallying from a 2-1 series deficit to reel off three consecutive
victories; the team silenced the Phillies fans at Citizens Bank
Park in Game 4 thanks to a historic performance by pitchers
Cristian Javier, Bryan Abreu, Rafael Montero, and Ryan Pressly,
who combined for the first World Series no-hitter since 1956;
following a nail-biting 3-2 win in Game 5, the Astros took the
field for Game 6 at Minute Maid Park with a chance to clinch the
title; Framber Valdez gave up just one run in six innings, and
Yordan Alvarez smashed a three-run homer in the sixth inning to
put the Astros up for good; when the final out was recorded for
the 4-1 victory, the Houston faithful celebrated the
organization's second World Series crown in six seasons; and
WHEREAS, The Astros were led by Jeremy Peña, who was named
MVP of both the American League Championship Series and the World
Series; another beloved hero of the 2022 campaign was manager
Dusty Baker, who captured the first World Series title of his
coaching career after compiling more than 2,000 victories with
five different teams; and
WHEREAS, The 2022 Houston Astros have burnished the
organization's reputation as a modern baseball dynasty, and this
unforgettable championship season will be celebrated by the team's
countless fans for many years to come; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 88th
Legislature, hereby congratulate the Houston Astros on winning
the 2022 Major League Baseball World Series and extend to the
team's players, coaches, and staff sincere best wishes for
continued success; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this Resolution be
prepared for the Astros organization as an expression of high
regard from the Texas Senate.
