The Houston Astros are in baseball’s World Series again next week against the Atlanta Braves, but how many times have the Astros won?
Astros in World Series – again
The 2021 World Series will be the fourth time the Texas Astros have played baseball.
Founded in 1962, the Astros had to wait until 2005 to make their playoff debut.
They were beaten 4-0 by the Boston Red Sox.
2021 will be the Astros’ third appearance in the last five World Series.
That record matches the Los Angeles Dodgers — though they’ve only met once, back in 2017.
This time, the Astros will face the Atlanta Braves in the quarterfinals.
The Astros will represent the American League and the Warriors will represent the National League.
The American League hasn’t won a World Series since the Boston Red Sox in 2018.

Did the Astros ever win the World Series?
Judging from their previous three games, the Astros have only had one World Series success.
Against the Dodgers in the 2017 game.
Four games were played at Dodger Stadium, with Minute Maid Park in the middle three.
Going into the final game at Dodger Stadium, the series was tied 3-3.
It was a bad night for the Dodgers at home, as the Astros destroyed them.
The decisive moment came when Cory Seeger was grounded by Jose Artuf.

The victory ended a 15-year drought for the first World Series champion.
The Astros were successful again in 2019, but came back with a 4-3 victory over the Washington Nationals.
How to do cheating?
In 2019, it was exposed sports The Astros have been using video technology to steal signals from opposing receivers.
Using this technology, the Astros were able to signal to the hitter what type of pitch to throw.
Nothing in baseball’s rules explicitly prohibits sign theft — in fact, all teams have been doing it for years, trying to gain whatever advantage they can get.
What would be unsportsmanlike, however, is to use video technology to do so — so did a 2001 MLB memo.

The Astros stole the logo during their 2017 World Series victory, an investigation found.
However, during their 2019 runner-up event, MLB found no signs of stealing.
As punishment, GM Jeff Lunhow and FM AJ Hinch were fired.
The Astros were fined $5 million and lost their picks for the 2020 and 2021 MLB drafts.
Under the leadership of James Click and Dusty Baker, it was never seen again.
When is the 2021 World Series?
The Houston Astros will host four games of the 2021 World Series.
On October 26th, the game kicks off at Minute Maid Park before the second game on the 27th.
The team then traveled to Atlanta for the middle three games before returning to the Lone Star State.
If a Game 7 is required, it will be at Minute Maid Park on November 3rd.
