The Houston Astros won the World Series in 2022, their second ring in six seasons. These are also the first two rings in franchise history as they spent quite a long time being one of baseball's laughingstocks before morphing into a dynasty.
They defeated the Philadelphia Phillies in six games to capture their second title. How much are the Astros' World Series rings worth?
Most reports estimate that a ring from the 2017 World Series, in which the Astros' title has come under fire due to cheating confirmations, is worth about $20,000 USD.
A fan replica from their run to the championship that year, which ultimately formed their dynasty, retails for $11,112 USD. This is symbolic since the Astros won 11 postseason games that year, which, when added to the Astros' 101 regular-season wins, equals 112 wins for the 2017 season.
The 2022 ring for the Astros is also worth about $20,000 USD. Evidently, the Astros' cheating scandal hasn't necessarily tarnished the value of that ring.
However, if a player were to put their ring up for sale or auction, it might not end up with the same value because of that. Until one of them does put their ring up, that won't be known, though.
Houston Astros' World Series ring: Can they win another in 2023?
The Houston Astros earned a ring for their dominant performance in the 2022 regular and postseason. They defeated the Phillies en route to their second-ever World Series ring. Can they repeat in 2023?
Oddsmakers seem to believe another ring is on the way. They're currently +600, which is easily the favorite to win it all. Behind them, the Los Angeles Dodgers are +750 and the New York Yankees are +800.
The Atlanta Braves and New York Mets are +800 as well, and the San Diego Padres come in with +1000 odds to win it all next year.
Is another World Series ring in the future for Houston? It will be tough to dethrone them this year.
After a good offseason, the Astros are primed to be the first repeat winner since the turn of the century.
