Baseball wouldn’t be the same without incredible underdog stories, and Atlanta Braves just gave us one to remember. They managed to score their first World Series title since 1995, after a triumphant 7-0 win against the Houston Astros on Tuesday night. In just three months, the Braves went from a team that had not spent a day over .500 to being crowned as champions of the World Series. They were gathering momentum ever since August, and Jorge Soler eventually led them to an epic win with a 446-foot blast in the third inning. Soler has been crowned as the World Series MVP, becoming only the second Cuban-born player to reach this milestone. He’s “extremely excited” about this achievement, and he explained how his historic score came about. "I was just really focused during that at-bat. I feel like he had thrown me every pitch that he had in his arsenal, so I just kept fouling the pitches off, eventually got into that 3-2 count and he hung the slider and I was able to drive it," said Soler through his interpreter Franco Garcia. Soler has only been with the Braves for a few months, after being traded from the Kansas City Royals, and he’s expected to become a free agent this winter.
