George Springer's sister is thrilled her brother didn't K to begin Game 2
A day after donning a golden sombrero in Game 1 of the World Series, Houston Astros center fielder George Springer led off Wednesday's Game 2 with a walk. Nobody was more excited than his sister, Lena.
ALRIGHT!!! HE DIDNT STRIKE OUT!

Springer made four trips to the plate Tuesday, getting sat down on strikes in all four - three times by Los Angeles Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw, and once by closer Kenley Jansen.
The Astros stranded Springer at first base to begin Wednesday's game, however, as Alex Bregman popped out, Jose Altuve struck out, and Carlos Correa flew out.
It appears Lena didn't need to teleport herself to Los Angeles after all:
