Seinfeld Festivus for the rest of us: Airing our MLB grievances

MLB Seinfeld Festivus: Feats of Strength

"Until you pin me, Festivus is not over."

George Constanza is scarred for life, after getting pinned by his father time after time during Festivus yeat after year.

The MLB Seinfeld version, however, is more of a recognition of accomplishment, so don’t worry, we aren’t going to start a fight.

Giancarlo Stanton. 59 long bombs, each one a site to see. The 2017 National League MVP will venture to the hitter-friendly American League, so if healthy, maybe he may approach the great Barry Bonds mark of 73 long bombs.

Nevertheless, his 2017 slate was impressive, most impressive indeed.

His new teammate, Aaron Judge, flexed his muscle as well, setting an American League rookie record for home runs in a season with 52 long balls. The “Feats of Strength” these two sluggers will accomplish together is just mindblowing.

On a more serious note, the award and winner of the feats of strength is the city of Houston and the Houston Astros. What a fantastic story of rising above tragedy, capping off all of the grief and sadness with the city’s first World Series championship.

Now, sports and baseball title cannot replace the loss of life and devastation, but it helps. It really helped people get through those incredibly difficult times.

Houston, you are the true MVP, with Jose Altuve taking home the award for the entire city.
