HOUSTON -- In a season marked by enshrining No. 7 Craig Biggio into the Hall of Fame, Astros general manager Jeff Luhnow wasn't exactly heaping more praise on the franchise's most prized player Thursday when he tweeted 12 "7" emojis in the shape of the No. 7 -- a tribute to the organization's seven Minor League affiliates who have clinched postseason berths.
Luhnow didn't plan the tweet beforehand -- how could he have adequately predicted this entire run, from Minor League to Major League success, to begin with -- but when the Tri-City Valley Cats won in extra innings, he thought of the not so subtle way to show his excitement.
