The Astros and Braves haven't played against each other since 2017. They'll now meet in the World Series, a matchup six decades in the making, pairing former National League rivals who've played more than 700 times, including five time in the playoffs
In Braves-Astros, there's a lot to savor in this World Series – even a family faceoff. Atlanta manager Brian Snitker's son, Troy, is a Houston hitting coach.
Altuve and Astros teammates Carlos Correa, Alex Bregman and Yuli Gurriel will forever wear the label of cheaters after being part of a team that devised an illegal, sign-stealing scheme on its way to the 2017 championship. The Astros are in the World Series for the third time in five years and got there minus ace Justin Verlander, who missed the season while recovering from Tommy John surgery.
Baker took this job in 2020 in the wake of Houston's cheating scandal –"there's a few things I still hadn't accomplished" – and at 72, with a lifetime of credentials, gets another chance.
