How this World Series hero spreads awareness beyond baseball

George Springer stepped up to the plate in the 11th inning of Game 2 of the World Series Wednesday night.

Fans of both teams may not have been expecting much — throughout Game 1, the Houston Astros outfielder struck out four times against the Los Angeles Dodgers’ talented pitchers. But as he got up to bat last night, the score was tied 5-5, and the Astros were counting on him.

After two balls and one strike, Springer hit a two-run homer, giving the Astros the lead and ultimately winning the game for his team. The 28-year-old yelled with joy as he rounded the bases.
