Astros Fan Gets Way Too Early But Also Probably Accurate World Series Tattoo
By Kevin Aquino
When you have the best record in the entire MLB, you're going to have your fair share of extremely confident fans-- and if the Astros do come up short this season, they can blame this very special guy for jinxing them.
This fan is basically telling the league to give Houston the championship with this tattoo of the Astros logo and "2019 Champs" written underneath it.

With an incredibly stacked rotation to go along with a series of scorching bats, it's hard to bet against the Astros this year. Houston has an AL Division Series matchup with Tampa Bay as their first postseason test towards their second World Series title in franchise history, and are significant favorites to advance.
Houston has Justin Verlander -- who put up the first 300-strikeout season of his career this year -- to go along with fellow Cy Young candidate Gerrit Cole and a third ace, Zack Greinke, who was added in late summer. Good luck teeing off against this team.
Jim "Mattress Mack" McIngvale, owner of a furniture store in Houston, placed a $3.5M bet on the Astros to win the World Series.

It's one of the largest bets ever taken by a U.S. bookmaker ? https://t.co/KkstYGNMxH
Astros fans are as confident in their team as ever, which would make for a great "we told you so" moment (or a heaping helping of humble pie at the conclusion of their season).
No matter the outcome, at least the fan with the Astros tattoo isn't this guy.
