Baseball in space, 2019
Posted: November 20, 2021 Filed under: 21st Century | Tags: Baseball, Houston Astros, International Space Station, Major League Baseball, MLB, NASA, sports, Washington Nationals, World Series Leave a commentWhen the Houston Astros made it to the World Series in 2019, NASA astronauts on the International Space Station celebrated the game with their own game of baseball. Unsurprisingly, playing baseball in outer space looks a little different than it does here on Earth.
The astronauts were rooting, of course, for the Astros in that year’s Series. Unfortunately for the crew of the ISS, the Washington Nationals came out victorious in 2019.
