Astros first World Series appearance and their only appearance as a National League team they would not make another appearance until their 2017 win as a member of the American League West.
Second World Series to feature a team with the name "Sox" in the title coincidentally like the Red Sox in 2004 who waited 86 years before winning their World Series title the White Sox also won the World Series breaking a curse as they waited 88 years before winning their first title.
