Analysis

Team Synopsis: Houston Astros

The Houston Astros are a Major League Baseball (MLB) team based in Houston, Texas. Founded in 1962, the franchise originally played as the Colt .45s before changing its name to the Astros in 1965. Over the years, the team has established a reputation for strong performances, particularly in the latter part of the 2010s and early 2020s, including winning the World Series in 2017 and 2022. The Astros are known for their innovative use of analytics and player development, which has significantly contributed to their success on the field.

Interesting Factoid: One of the most notable achievements for the Astros came in 2017 when they won their first-ever World Series title. This victory was particularly poignant for the city of Houston, which was still recovering from the devastation caused by Hurricane Harvey earlier that year.

Something Not Well Known: Despite their recent successes, the Astros have faced significant controversy, notably the sign-stealing scandal that came to light after their 2017 championship. The MLB investigated and determined that the team had engaged in a systematic scheme to steal signs using technology, leading to a significant backlash from fans and players alike, overshadowing their achievements during that period.
