Not many in the baseball world could have predicted this brilliant future, especially after witnessing their campaigns in the recent past. But by becoming the champions against the odds, they proved everyone wrong. Like any public entity, it may not have happened had the fans not shown faith in the team.

Now, when the team has achieved it, their faith has transformed into love. The fans made it available in abundance against the low World Series victory numbers as the Lone Star state witnessed a champion parade.
