With the Houston Astros winning the World Series, celebrations are going on. Rookie shortstop Jeremy Peña and the manager Dusty Baker are the two main centers of celebration. 

Baker had a first-ever World Series win as a manager in all of his career, while Peña became the first rookie to hit a homer in the World Series and won Gold Glove, WS MVP, and ALCS MVP, all in the same year. But there are two other names who are getting almost the same buzz as the shortstop and the manager.

One of those two is Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, whose champagne is the one Astros celebrated their win with. The other is the Houston furniture businessman, Jim “Mattress Mack” McIngvale. He won a substantial amount of money by putting multiple bets on the Astros.

A couple of months ago, the Astros announced a partnership with the rapper for two of his spirits. As it seems, the Astros were pretty sure of their win as early as September. Also, they wanted to make sure they had the best to celebrate with the World Series win.
