哟!在所有球队中，费城费城人队即将进军世界职业棒球大赛。对阵那些支持休斯敦太空人队的人。
周五晚上在美汁源公园开始的一场相当美味的比赛，秋季经典充满了充满活力的景象、气味和声音。

哈珀今年季后赛已经打出了五支本垒打。在周日与圣地亚哥队的第五场比赛中，他在第8局的击出一球，帮助费城人队自2009年以来首次进入世界大赛，也为他赢得了国家联盟冠军系列赛的最有价值球员。
在美联冠军系列赛中，太空人队以7胜0负的战绩横扫纽约洋基队。亚历克斯·布雷格曼的一垒安打帮助球队在周日晚上6-5获胜。
根据FanDuel的数据，在去年输掉世界职业棒球大赛之后，休斯顿今年是夺冠的大热门。
很有可能，人们会在路上看到舒瓦炸弹或查斯·乔普。
但不可能看到兄弟姐妹之间的竞争。太空人队的中继投手菲尔·马顿在常规赛的最后一场比赛中表现不稳定，他在投球手击打储物柜时摔断了一根手指。在那场比赛中，他的弟弟、费城人队的多工尼克·马顿也被击出了安打。
《兄弟之爱之城》则不然。但对这两个城市的球迷来说，有一件好事:NFL唯一的不败球队费城老鹰队(Philadelphia Eagles)将在第五场和第六场比赛之间的旅行日造访休斯顿德州人队(Houston Texans)，如果需要的话。
在休斯顿，天气不会成为伸缩屋顶的问题。谁也不知道费城露天的天气会怎样。
有像Jose Altuve, ALCS MVP Jeremy Pe?a, Rhys Hoskins和Alec Bohm这样的球员，这个世界大赛是一场七局四胜制的比赛，代表了一些现在和未来最好的比赛。再加上一段美好的过去——别忘了，这两支球队已经交手近600次了。
在激动人心的1980年美国职业棒球大联盟冠军系列赛中，麦克·施密特、皮特·罗斯、史蒂夫·卡尔顿和战斗费城人队在阿斯特洛圆顶球场击败诺兰·瑞安，获得了他们的第一个世界职业棒球大赛冠军。
多年后，布拉德·利奇、比利·瓦格纳、米奇·威廉姆斯和肯·贾尔斯在两家俱乐部都效力过。未来的名人堂成员乔·摩根和罗宾·罗伯茨也是如此。
这是一段整洁的历史——费城人队是第一支击败休斯顿的球队，要追溯到1962年，当时扩建的柯尔特。45在康妮麦克体育场输掉了比赛。
有趣的是，费城人队也是最近击败太空人队的球队。早在10月3日，费城人以3比0战胜火箭开启了常规赛的最后一轮系列赛，在阿伦·诺拉投出两记全垒打后，小兰斯·麦卡勒斯出局。
随后，太空人队在维兰德和弗兰伯·瓦尔迪兹之后赢得了接下来的两场比赛，以106胜56负的战绩结束了全联盟的最佳战绩。费城费城人队在他们的面对面比赛中仍然以297比283领先，大部分都是在2013年休斯顿从国家联盟转到美国联盟之前。
Houston then swept Seattle in the AL Division Series and the Yankees in the ALCS featuring its winning formula of imposing starting pitching, a dominant bullpen and a lineup full of home run hitters such as Alvarez and Kyle Tucker.
This marks the Astros' fourth trip to the World Series in six years and their only title in 2017 was tainted by an illegal sign-stealing scandal. Last season, they lost to Freddie Freeman and the underdog Atlanta Braves in six games.
At 73 and in his 25th season as a manager, Baker is looking for a crown to cap his ample resume.
“I mean, victories drive me. And I’ll get it,” he said during the ALCS. “You can’t rush it before it gets here because it ain’t here yet. So you just got to put yourself in a position to do it.”
Verlander, the likely AL Cy Young Award winner after bouncing back from Tommy John surgery, is hoping to improve his 0-6 mark in seven career World Series starts.
The Phillies, meanwhile, looked like a big zero this year before getting to this point in October.
Stuck at 21-29 going into June, they fired manager Joe Girardi a few days later and put the interim tag on bench coach Rob Thomson. Then suddenly, the Phillies took off.
They overcame Harper's broken thumb, sidelining the two-time NL MVP for two months, beat out Milwaukee for the final playoff spot in going 87-75, and quickly topped NL Central champion St. Louis in the wild-card round. Philadelphia eliminated defending World Series champ Atlanta in the NLDS and topped San Diego in the NLCS.
Now, with Thomson having been rewarded with a two-year contract, the Phillies are the first third-place team in baseball history to reach the World Series.
Philadelphia lost to the Yankees in its last trip this far. A year earlier in 2008, Lidge capped off his remarkable year of going 48 for 48 in save chances to close out the Phillies' second title as a team led by Chase Utley, Jimmy Rollins and Ryan Howard beat Tampa Bay in five games.
Spurred by their rollicking home crowd, Harper and this bunch of Phils hope to add another banner.
Thomson is trying to join Jack McKeon (Marlins, 2003) and Bob Lemon (Yankees, 1978) as the only managers hired in midseason to win the title. To the 59-year-old Thomson, it's not such a surprise his team is in this position.
“Coming out of spring training ... we knew we had a good ballclub. We knew our bullpen was good, rotation was good, we had great offense,” he said earlier in the playoffs. “We just got off to a little bit of a slow start and kind of spiraled.”
“And we had ups and downs during the season, just like any other club does. But they knew that they were going to come out of it at some point and start winning again. And we did,” he said.
