“One Diamond for Each Sign Stolen”- Houston Astros 15.30 Carat World Series Ring’s Display Ends With Fans Bombarding Trash Can Taunts

2022 was a year to remember for the Houston Astros. Under the helm of Dusty Baker, they entered the postseason to win, and quite literally, only won by sweeping the Mariners and Yankees, before winning the World Series against the Phillies 4-2. Finally, after winning the World Series in October 2022, the Astros players have got their hands on the special World Series ring, with a special touch.

Before the Houston Astros played their second game of 2023 against the White Sox, the entire team – including the coaching and managerial staff were presented their 2022 World Series Championship rings. And these rings are affluent and lavish, to say the very least.

The real glory of these special diamond-arrayed rings lies underneath the fancy exterior

The lavish diamond-clad personalized rings came with 624 diamonds, 12 orange sapphires, 43 blue sapphires, and a total carat weight of 15.30. In addition to that, every ring also included the player/manager/coach’s unique signature, with the back of the ring displaying the logos of the opponent team beaten in the 2022 playoffs, along with the series scorelines. Finally, every ring also displayed the Astros hype slogan: “Leveled up.”

The Houston Astros also released a limited edition, customizable ring for their fans. However, only 200 of these rings are on sale at a whopping price of $15,117 according to their fan collection website.
