Last night, the Houston Astros won the World Series. I feel especially happy because…

• It gives manager Dusty Baker a long-deserved World Series championship.
• It’s a bit of schnaudenfreude for the firebreathers who mocked them for the 2017 scandal, which in my eyes was blown out of proportion purely because they beat the Yankees and Dodgers. If they’d beaten the Twins and Diamondbacks, no one would care. (Should we revoke the titles of any team who had a spitballer/steroid user on them?)
• They beat the Phillies, my least favorite team in baseball even without Bryce Harper.

Congrats!
