Simone Biles has undergone a significant journey and experienced a great deal of change, but her commitment to Texas teams has stayed constant. Supporting several other sports, Biles frequently attends MLB and NFL games to cheer on her favorite teams. About two years back, Jonathan Owens was a safety for the Houston Texans and was subsequently falling for the most decorated gymnast. This year Owens joined the Packers, which made Biles cheer for her husband’s team instead. All this while, her loyalty to the Texas MLB team remained intact.

Currently, both her cheered sports are undergoing game days keeping the aficionados on the edge. When speaking of MLB, could Biles have stopped herself from posting an update? If you knew her you would know.

Former NFL superstar Tom Brady popularly known for creating the expression “LFG” (short for let’s f****** go) time and again pops up whenever someone uses the catchphrase. This time it’s Simone Biles who shared an Instagram story reposting Huston Astros’ post with second baseman José Carlos Altuve in action. Biles wrote, “LFG” with an orange heart and face exhaling emoji. Legs in place, Altuve took his shot in a statue pose. The post was captioned, “NEVER BACK DOWN, NEVER WHAT” with a hand emoji.

For the Astros, who are already down 2-0 in the ALCS final, today’s game proved to be crucial. The last three innings were two lead-changing homers, three ejections, a brief delay as Houston manager Dusty Baker refused to leave the Astros dugout, and a leaping catch in the bottom of the ninth inning by a fielder making his first-ever appearance on defense in a postseason game. Baker was elated after the match and even said, “That will go down in history.”

They turned the tide with a brilliant effort, and are currently 3-2 in the series. Not only did Altuve hit a spectacular game-winning home run to seal the win, but it also moved them closer to the World Series. They will automatically qualify for the World Series if they can keep up this pace. Later after the match, Altuve said, “That’s one of the craziest games I ever played in.” To win the best-of-seven series and go to the World Series, which would be Houston’s fifth trip in the past seven seasons, they just need to win one of their remaining games. Did you know the Biles family joined in on Biles’s love for MLB and even introduced it to a new member this year?
