Already in mostly uncharted waters when looking back on their franchise history, the Houston Astros are on the brink of further distinguishing themselves from the Houston teams that have come before them.
This is the fifth League Championship Series the Astros have reached since their establishment back in 1962. And with a 2-0 series lead over the New York Yankees heading into Monday night's Game 3, they're just two wins away from being the second team in club history to punch a ticket to the World Series.
After their dismantling of the Boston Red Sox in the American League Division Series, it was rather evident that an offense led by Jose Altuve, Carlos Correa, and George Springer (among others) would be tough to handle in October.
