The Houston Astros Denied 2 True Fall Classics

 The Houston Astros Denied 2 True Fall Classics and this is where the Late 2010's or 20Teens have not died and not in a good way, either. The first True Fall Classic they've denied was 2017, when they won the pennant and that would have broken the wait for a Yankees-Dodgers World Series and the second True Fall Classic they've denied was 2019 when the Nationals should have had the chance to take on the Yankees.

Instead, it made Los Angeles madder and having a true Interleague Series where they'd flip right and left to the point that that it was the opposite of their Traditional League Homes (Washington being American League, and Houston being National League).

What would make a World Series a Fall Classic? Either Clinching at Home, or Breaking an After All These Years Hex. Public Opinion would dull a Fall Classic and having it be louder than a State Tournament would cheapen the Fall Classic.

Last decade, we only had 2 True Fall Classic Nominations and Both Where Hex Busters as in Kansas City Royals (1985) and the Chicago Cubs Championship Hex Buster (1908). Surprisingly, we have had a deeper bank of Fall Classics in the 2000's.

I feel that the plot of having to dismantle 2 True Fall Classics would follow all the way back to the Northwest Side of Cedar Rapids. I doubt that our Civic Self Esteem likes to view itself as hexed, but, the Trout Drought follows its way back to Eastern Iowa with Cedar Rapids's Championship Hex, and the irritation of not having Clinton and Burlington in League or even a Proper Midwest League.

The Trout Drought does not help Baseball and Softball Numbers in Eastern Iowa, even having who is 8th Grade and who'd actually be Freshmen later that Summer. What the Quad City River Bandits did was worsen the Cedar Rapids Kernels Championship Hex and Sink the Trout Drought and Baseball's Self Esteem Worse in Eastern Iowa.

This is a clinical issue if one did exist.
