HOUSTON — The Houston Astros aren’t the only ones getting World Series Championship rings. A member of the Houston Rockets organization was lucky enough to receive one as well.
Astros owner Jim Crane presented Rockets owner Tilman Fertitta with one of the coveted rings Thursday night at the Rockets’ matchup against the Portland Trailblazers.
Crane told Fertitta, “When you win a world championship, I get one.”
