Texas Beats California

California can be separated into at least three distinct geographic regions ("six Californias" has achieved some traction) that have little in common with each other---I couldn't see San Franciscans rejoicing if the Dodgers had won the World Series last night.

It appears that the entire State of Texas is celebrating the Houston Astros' game 7 win last night.

After the $100+ billion--one-third to one-half in Houston--of damage experienced from Hurricane Harvey nine weeks ago, the Astros' victory is a much-needed feel-good story in professional sports.
