What "Earn History" Means to Me

Related Topics: Roy Oswalt, River Earn

The Astros slogan of "Earn History" sounded like just another cliche sports hashtag when I first heard it. Yeah, winning the World Series means it's the first in Astros history, the first in Texas history, etc. That's great, but every team has a cute slogan, right? But as I pondered the depths of my soul following the most amazing routine grounder the second ever, I realized there was more to Earn History. Maybe it also means that this club has finally earned our history. The history of every fan who has waited for this moment. Every fan who grew up cheering for the orange and blue (and brick red) (and navy and gold).
