A had-to-see-it-to-believe-it Game 5 of the World Series featured massive and incomprehensible swings of both lumber and momentum. And it leaves this upstart franchise, born in 1962 as the Colt .45’s, one victory away from its first World Series title. “Back and forth, the two best teams in baseball duking it out,” said Bregman, the Astros’ precocious, 23-year-old third baseman. “You think you’ve seen everything in baseball, until you haven’t.”It was the most amazing, astounding, incredible — and yes, bonkers — World Series game since ... oh, four days earlier. The Dodgers, their nightmare now upon them, were trudging off the field, and the Astros were spilling onto it.
