Simone Biles Cheers on Her Favorite Side as Boston Red Sox Face Houston Astros

Simone Biles easily ranks among the best gymnast of all-time. With 25 medals at the World Artistic Gymnastics Championships, she is the most decorated gymnast of all-time. In addition, her Olympic medal tally of seven is the joint highest of any American female gymnast.

While her accomplishments in gymnastics are immense, the 24-year-old is no stranger to Major League Baseball. During Game 6 of the ALCS between the Houston Astros and the Boston Red Sox, Biles took to social media to show her support for her favorite team.

Although Biles was born in Columbus, Ohio, she grew up in Spring, Texas. She terms the area her hometown and currently lives there as well.

In the MLB, Biles made it clear that she supports the team from her home state, the Houston Astros. She threw the ceremonial first pitch in three MLB games, two of which were home games for the Astros.

The first of these three pitches came in 2016. Sporting their grey colored jersey ahead of the Astros’ game against the Seattle Mariners, Biles hit an impressive flip before throwing the ball.

She made another appearance at the Minute Maid Park in 2019. Prior to Game 2 of the World Series between the Astros and the Washington Nationals, Biles sported their orange jersey and once again hit a picture-perfect flip before throwing the ball.

While she didn’t make any first pitch appearances since then, the 24-year-old shared a story on Instagram during the Astros’ game against the Red Sox yesterday. While spending the night out with a few friends, she shared another story expressing her joy following the Astros’ 5-0 victory.
