55 years, 6 months and 15 days.

That's the amount of time that elapsed between the Astros' (then known as the Colt .45s) very first game as a franchise - an 11-2 victory over the Chicago Cubs on April 10, 1962 - and their very first World Series win, which occurred last night.

Not only was it their very first World Series win (they were swept by the White Sox in 2005), but it was also a thriller - one of the crazier and more memorable games in World Series history.

And we were alive to see it.

Keep it up, fellas! Let's get three more!
