On a team like the Astros – where championship contention is always the goal, but fans place their faith in the players themselves, more than just statistics – a player like Paredes bravely stepping up and speaking his mind might be remembered longer than any victory on the court.

The story will continue when the referee delivers the final verdict – but the emotion Paredes has spread transcended all numbers.
