The Houston Astros miss George Springer. No matter how hard the club have tried, they have been unable to replicate Springer's contribution on the pitch.
Springer was a star player for the Astros between 2014 and 2021, when he signed a six-year, $150-million free-agent contract with the Toronto Blue Jays.
Former manager A.J. Hinch once asked that Springer stay on the bench throughout a game while he was ailing, because everyone was cheered by his humor and energy.
The 2017 World Series victory by the Astros was greatly aided by Springer.
After hitting five home runs and batting.379 in the seven-game series against the Los Angeles Dodgers, he was awarded the World Series' Most Valuable Player.
Throughout his stint with the Astros, Springer was chosen three times for the American League All-Star squad. In 2018, he was also awarded the MVP of the All-Star Game.
