After losing to an upstart NL East team last season, the Houston Astros got the job done in the 2022 World Series, knocking off the Philadelphia Phillies 4-1 in Game 6 to win the Fall Classic by a 4-2 series margin. It cements Houston's status as the most dominant team in recent MLB history, as the Astros have now won two World Series titles since 2017 and made it at least to the ALCS every season in that span. Now, you can get Astros World Series championship gear here.
October and November often produce new playoff heroes. This year, it is Astros shortstop Jeremy Pena. The rookie capped off an impressive season by being named World Series MVP. He hit .400 in the World Series 2022 and had a home run and three runs driven in. Pitcher Justin Verlander added a second World Series title to his Hall of Fame-worthy career. Yordan Alvarez, meanwhile, shook off a slow start to the series to deliver the knockout blow in Game 6, crushing a three-run blast 450 feet to give Houston a late-inning lift.
