Astros win second World Series title in six seasons, cement dynasty status
Mackenzie Salmon looks at how the Houston Astros won their second title in six seasons and cemented their status as the best team in baseball.Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner had encouraged fans coming to the victory parade to “arrive early, wear Astros’ colors, be loud and celebrate safely.” The parade, which started at noon and lasted for a couple of hours, packed sidewalks with people as Astros players riding floats and buses waved at cheering fans.
The parade took place without any serious incidents, except for the arrest of a 33-year-old man who was accused by Houston police of throwing a beer can at U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, who was riding in the back of a truck that was part of the parade. Police said the beer can hit the Republican senator from Texas in the chest and neck area but he did not require any medical attention. The man was arrested by police but his name was not immediately released.
Video from the parade showed people along the route booing Cruz as he went by, including just before he was hit by the beer can.
