When Sports Illustrated declared on its cover in June of 2014 that the Houston Astros would be YOUR 2017 WORLD SERIES CHAMPS, it seemed to most observers to be a wildly far-fetched prediction on the part of the story’s author, senior writer Ben Reiter.

Now, SI is proud to exclusively announce Astroball: The New Way to Win It All, Reiter’s upcoming book that will reveal the pioneering strategies the club’s executives and players used to make the improbable a reality, and to turn a laughingstock into a champion.
