The Houston Astros are your 2022 World Series Champions! After looking like the team of destiny throughout the playoffs, the Phillies offense disappeared in the final three games of the World Series and their miracle run has come to an end. Framber Valdez looked cool as a cucumber on the mound in Game 6 and pitched like he’s been there a million times (which he has). Yordan Álvarez hit a TANK to dead center field to all but clinch another title for the Astros. Jeremy Peña won World Series MVP after winning ALCS MVP in his rookie year… what a stud. The Astros finally have a legitimate title on the board and it’s a bad day for Astros haters. That’s the first year in the books for Baseball Is Dead! Thank you to all the new listeners who tuned it for any or all episodes this year! We’ll be moving to one episode per week throughout the offseason until we get baseball back in the Spring. See you later this week!
