Pic of the Week

World Series MVP George Springer rides in the Astros'
victory parade through downtown Houston on Friday.

The Twins drafted George Springer out of high school in 2008 but didn't sign him. He went to his homestate university (UConn) and was a first-round pick of the Astros three years later.

Worked out pretty well for him.

This concludes the Pic of the Week theme for the year. Next week I'll resume the Sunday Funnies -- baseball tales that may or may not be true but are at least a bit amusing.
