4. Heroes Made in the Postseason

Jose Urquidy and Robinson Chirinos were huge components to the Astros Game 4 victory in a crucial game for their Championship aspirations. The postseason is truly were previously unheralded heroes are made.

One of my favorite things about October baseball is when unknown players (relatively speaking) get their turn in the bright World Series spotlight. Last night, Jose Urquidy and Robinson Chirinos helped lift the star-studded Astros into a series tie. https://t.co/Ez5iSlD0A9 pic.twitter.com/BEYelHQWY7
