2017 World Series Fitted: New Era’s Astros Championship Tribute with Gray Bottom

New Era’s Red Houston Astros Gray Bottom 2017 World Series Side Patch 59Fifty fitted is a stunning tribute to one of the most thrilling championship runs in baseball history. This exclusive drop from exclusive_fitted features a bold red crown with gray bottom colorway, accented by gold details and that coveted 2017 World Series side patch. At $54.99 and available in sizes 7 through 8, this fitted commemorates the Astros’ first championship in franchise history, a victory that came just nine weeks after Hurricane Harvey devastated Houston and provided the city with a much-needed morale boost.

The 2017 World Series was an absolute offensive explosion that rewrote the record books in spectacular fashion. In the legendary Game 2 alone, the Astros and Dodgers combined for 8 home runs, setting a new World Series single-game record, with an incredible 5 coming in extra innings. Houston became the only team in baseball history to hit home runs in the 9th, 10th, and 11th innings of the same game, with Jose Altuve and Carlos Correa going back-to-back in the 10th inning to become the first teammates ever to accomplish that feat in World Series extra innings.

What makes this fitted even more special for collectors is the incredible prophecy behind it all. A 2014 Sports Illustrated cover story boldly predicted the rebuilding Astros would win the 2017 World Series while they were suffering through a 92-loss season. The Astros also made history by becoming the first team ever to reach the World Series as members of both the National League and American League, making this championship commemoration a true piece of baseball history that any serious collector needs in their rotation.
