It’s hard to draw it up any better.”The Astros celebrate their franchise’s first World Series title. The five homers equaled a World Series record held by Reggie Jackson (1977) and Chase Utley (2009). Dodger Stadium, the third-oldest stadium in baseball, the onetime home of Don Drysdale and Sandy Koufax and Kirk Gibson, had never hosted a World Series Game 7. Baseball hadn’t seen two 100-win teams in a World Series Game 7 since 1931. And this was a World Series that, by its end, didn’t need any elevating in the first place.
