About This Fitted
The Orange Houston Astros Dark Green Bottom 2005 World Series New Era 59Fifty Fitted celebrates one of the most bittersweet moments in Astros franchise history. This striking orange and dark green colorway captures the excitement of Houston’s first-ever World Series appearance, complete with the official 2005 World Series side patch that commemorates their historic journey. Available at exclusive_fitted for $49.99, this 59FIFTY represents a milestone season that brought the Astros closer to championship glory than they’d ever been before.
While the Chicago White Sox ultimately swept the series 4-0, the Astros’ 2005 World Series run was filled with unforgettable moments that make this fitted even more special. The postseason journey included the longest playoff game in MLB history, an epic 18-inning marathon against Atlanta that ended with Chris Burke’s walk-off homer. Perhaps most memorably, Astros owner Drayton McLane made good on his promise to buy Roy Oswalt a $230,000 yellow Caterpillar bulldozer after the pitcher helped secure their World Series berth, one of the most unique player rewards in baseball history.
For collectors, this fitted represents more than just a championship appearance, it captures the heart and soul of a franchise that had waited 44 years to reach the Fall Classic. The bold orange and green colorway stands out in any collection, while the 2005 World Series patch serves as a permanent reminder of Houston’s breakthrough season. Even though they fell short of the ultimate prize, this New Era piece honors a team that gave their city something to believe in and set the stage for their eventual 2017 championship triumph.
