HOUSTON – This 2017 World Series is going to go down as one of the all-time classics, and we still could have two more games left to play.
Ask the Astros, and they will tell you that one more win is all they need to down the Dodgers and earn the franchises' first ever World Championship.

Sunday night had all the highs and lows fans, players or managers could handle. Just when the Astros were down and on the verge of losing, they rallied. The Dodgers, too, had their moments and answered the bell, particularly in the ninth inning, when they scored three runs, tying the game at 12 and forcing extra innings.
Here are some numbers to digest as you recover from the marathon finish and try to get into your Monday routine:
- 5 hours, 17 minutes - Length of the game
- 5 - Astros home runs with three of that number tying the game
- 25 - Total runs scored between both teams
- 3 - Deficits the Astros faced and overcame
- 3 - Number of three-run homers hit in Game 5
- 106 - Speed in miles per hour of Correa's home run ball
- 415 - Combined number of pitches for both teams
- 14 - Combined number of pitchers used
- 7 - Combined number of home runs hit in Game 5
- 43,300 - Size of the standing-room-only crowd at Minute Maid Park
- 2 - Number of former presidents in attendance. George W. Bush threw the first pitch and George H.W. Bush shouted, "Play ball!"
- 28 - Combined number of hits in Game 5
- 22 - Total home runs hit from Games 1 through 5
Those are enough numbers for now, coming out of the best game ever at Minute Maid Park. Years from now, you might still find yourself telling the story of your Game 5 experience.
