After winning their very first World Series at Dodger Stadium on Wednesday, the Astros headed home to Houston on Thursday. Although it was just a three-hour flight, players settled in after a long night of celebrating. Series MVP George Springer made sure not only that he was comfortable, but also the newest member of the championship squad:

It'll need all the rest it can get for tomorow's Parade Day.
