“Hey, George Springer! You and the Houston Astros just won the World Series! What are you going to do next?” “I’m gonna get married!”

Since 1987, Disney has asked Super Bowl MVPs a similar question seconds after the final whistle of the big game each year, hoping to prompt the now-famous “I’m going to Disneyland (or Disney World)!” response.

The Astros were part of a celebratory parade at Florida’s Disney World with their championship status just three days old. George Springer, American League batting champion Jose Altuve, and All-Star Carlos Correa teamed up with Mickey Mouse for a World Series victory parade on Saturday, Nov. 4.

Each Astro on the World Series roster received nearly half a million dollars head start to winter fun… just a hair under $439,000 as each player’s World Series share.

If you didn’t get an invitation to a star-studded wedding, a vacation to paradise with an Astro, or go for a spin in a $300,000 car, you’re not alone. But, here’s what your reigning World Champs did during the winter break, and how they spent some of their champ largesse.

World Series MVP George Springer

Indeed, Springer did tie the knot, January 20, with the former Charlise Castro. The couple held their ceremony at the tony 5-star resort at Pelican Hill in Newport Beach, CA. Fellow Astros Brad Peacock, manager A.J. Hinch, Alex Bregman, Collin McHugh, Derek Fisher, and Jake Marisnick attended, as did former Houston teammate, reliever Luke Gregerson, now a St. Louis Cardinal. In fact, Hinch crashed at good friend and LA Dodgers manager Dave Roberts’ southern California house during the wedding week. I trust Hinch had the good taste to avoid hauling the World Series trophy inside, setting it on his nightstand.

Springer, describing Marsnick’s role as best man in his wedding, said this: “He was responsible for not screwing it up. He would have had to answer to my wife, which probably wouldn’t have been a good thing for him. Much to his credit, he didn’t screw it up.”

Springer also put up the first shot prior to a Cleveland Cavs/Houston Rockets game at the Toyota Center just eight days after the trophy was clinched. If you guessed brick, you win. Earlier that week, Springer clutched the trophy tightly showing it off before a Houston Texans football game.

Shortstop Carlos Correa

Correa and his fiancée Daniella Rodriguez (former Miss Texas USA 2016) visited Puerto Rico, among other jaunts like the aforementioned Disney World. Most fans will remember Daniella as the recipient of Correa’s proposal and ring moments after the final out of World Series Game 7, as the Houston shortstop popped the question on national TV. Carlos and Daniella also took in at least one Houston Rockets game in December with Astros owner, Jim Crane.

Reigning AL MVP Jose Altuve

Probably the busiest offseason Astro, a Saturday Night Live appearance kicked off his whirlwind winter. With wife Nina and daughter Melanie, he did fall by Turkish chef-restaurateur Nusret Gökçe’s (known worldwide as “Salt Bae”) new steakhouse in New York City five days before Christmas. He also made new and fast friends with singer/actor Marc Anthony in January, and hung out with Mariners ace, fellow Venezuelan, Felix Hernandez.

Altuve also won the Athlete of the Year award during the first annual Houston Sports Awards at the Hilton Americas, February 8, in Houston.

Outfielder Josh Reddick

Reddick spent a couple weeks in January basking in the sun and surf of Hawaii, namely the $450-a-night Mauna Lani Bay Hotel and Bungalows in Waimea on the big island. He even brought his fielder’s glove, if one beach photo can be believed. May the record show he sported mainly baggy board shorts in place of his celebratory locker room Speedos.

He and his lady friend were still in their island paradise when that false alarm missile scare happened in Hawaii. “Definitely a scary moment,” Reddick said, “but here I am, luckily. It’s something you don’t expect to be ready for in your lifetime when you see your phone say: ‘This is not a drill. It’s a missile attack.’

“You kind of panic. Fortunately, it was a false alarm, but I wish it could’ve taken far less time than 38 minutes to get a headline out there.” Reddick and his girlfriend ran back to their room, heeding the message’s urgent directions to seek cover.

“Looking back now it probably wouldn’t have helped a whole lot,” he said with a smirk, according to the Houston Chronicle. As Reddick feared for his life, his girlfriend, he said, was concerned more about missing their chance to swim with dolphins.

“She wasn’t worried about dying,” Reddick said. “I’m like, ‘Those dolphins can wait. We’ll see them tomorrow, if we’re still here.'” They, of course, were relieved when the false alarm nature of the message was reported. The dolphins, Reddick, and his girlfriend ended up romping together with no further incident.

The altruistic athlete that he is, Reddick also spent the first week of December reading to students at several elementary schools in his hometown Effingham County (Savannah, GA).

Reddick took the Lambo Leap, and spent about half of his series share on a spanking new red Lamborghini, with black interior.

Super Utility Player, Marwin Gonzalez

Along with a large number of personal appearances enjoyed by most of his teammates, Marwin took advantage of the winter downtime to spend date nights with his wife Noel, particularly at many of Houston’s fine dining spots.

Pitcher Dallas Keuchel

Houston’s lefty ace caught up with EDM/rockers The Chainsmokers at Las Vegas’ Club XS in the Encore on the Strip, a week before Christmas. He was there for longtime U. of Arkansas buddy and fellow lefty, the Cubs’ Drew Smyly’s bachelor party. Kid Keuchy also rung in the New Year and his 30th birthday (New Year’s Day) with the Astros’ Lance McCullers, Jr. and wife, Kara, at a late night hot spot.

And, of course, not to be outdone by a position player (Reddick), Keuchel threw his wallet at a crisp, new, black Ferrari 488 Spider in Grigio Silverstone Opaco, matte finish, of course. Vanilla version? About $300,000, but rest assured Keuchel went all in on a more sophisticated “flavor.”

Third Baseman Alex Bregman

A week after boxing himself up and popping out of it, surprising his mom for Christmas, Houston’s World Series Game 5 hero popped up at Las Vegas, himself, but not to meet a pop band. Bregman made a bro trip out of watching UFC 219 and meeting Holly Holm shortly before she fought Cris Cyborg at the T-Mobile Arena in nearby Paradise, NV. Along for the ride were fellow Astro fight fans Brian McCann, Jake Marisnick, Joe Musgrove, and Mike Fiers. Cyborg won the bout over Holm.

Bregman topped off his offseason by visiting schools in Angleton (just shy of an hour due south of Houston) on Valentine’s Day before leaving for Spring Training.

Pitcher Chris Devenski

The second week of December found the southern California native paddle boarding just off the coast with fellow reliever James Hoyt, no stranger to coastal fun, himself, having attended Palomar Junior College in San Diego County.

Days after clinching the trophy, November 1, Devenski had the extra hands of Springer, Musgrove, and Tyler White to carry the hardware to a Houston Texans game, and meeting President George Bush the elder, present to help in the pre-game ceremony.

Interestingly, Devo has recently taken up cryotherapy at a San Diego facility specializing in such. Cryotherapy? Officially, “the local or general use of low temperatures in medical therapy. Cryotherapy is used to treat a variety of benign and malignant tissue damage, medically called lesions.”

He had several sessions before reporting to Spring Training on the other coast. Speaking of the Astros West Palm Beach spring campus, Chris was found feeding the Royal Swans at the Embassy Suites in nearby Palm Beach Gardens on Valentine’s Day.

Pitcher Justin Verlander

Presumably with model wife Kate Upton nearby, Verlander (about whom more can be read here), Houston’s righty ace rung in the New Year in the Bahamas (of course, they wed mere hours after the World Series’ final out). Upon departing that paradise, he noted on social media: “It’s time to get back to the grind.” Some grind. And, like most of us, he also took in a brisk 18 at the Pebble Beach links over Valentine’s Day. Hmmm. When were pitchers and catchers supposed to report?

Pitcher Collin McHugh

Rumored by some to be traded due to a team rotation glut, he’s rumored by others to remain a ‘Stro for rotation flexibility. Nonetheless, McHugh’s 2018 was ushered in, with wife Ashley, at Alberta’s Lake Louise Resort near Banff in western Canada. The temperature was routinely 20 below, so Collin and the Missus took plenty of photos from the cozy comfort of their cabin.

Catcher Max Stassi

Stassi may be out of options on the diamond (and hoping the Astros carry three catchers out of camp), but choices abound if you’re a World Series champ. In early December, Max joined fellow ‘Stros Jon Singleton, Hoyt, and new Pirate Musgrove in Cancún at the wedding of longtime minor league mate, outfielder Andrew Aplin, now a non-roster invitee in the Mariners’ camp, after Houston traded him last May for a player to be named. The Aplins honeymooned happily at the Conrad Maldives Rangali Island Resort in the Maldives for about a grand a night.

Outfielder Derek Fisher

The other Game 5 hero (scoring the winning run Bregman singled in) hopes to land the left field job coming out of camp. He ended 2017 by landing a massive mahi-mahi on a fishing expedition. Three weeks after the series ended, Fisher was feted prior to a Philadelphia 76ers game at the Wells Fargo Center, three hours south of his Lebanon, PA birthplace.

Pitcher Brad Peacock

Also showing his piscatorial prowess was native Floridian Peacock, who did some speck fishing in Lake Okeechobee just after Thanksgiving.

Pitcher Brady Rodgers

Maybe outdistancing both Peacock and Fisher in the “outdoor living” department, Rodgers (who’ll be taking it slow and light this spring after Tommy John surgery) went big game hunting, as well as big game fishing. Off the coast of North Carolina, Rodgers reeled in a huge albacore tuna on Thanksgiving morning. Several days before Christmas, he downed a couple of bucks deep in the heart of the Texas hill country near Junction, 140 miles west of Austin.

Pitcher Reymin Guduan

Make no mistake, virtually each and every Houston Astro spent some or a lot of time giving back, in some way, to the community this offseason, whether in Houston or their respective hometowns.

Lefty reliever Guduan is no exception. Just days before reporting to West Palm Beach, he was helping to pass out much-needed food and other necessities in his native Dominican Republic. He also assisted in the building of houses. Work like this, in fact, he was doing in his home country the entire offseason.

Spring Training News’n’Notes

Astros pitchers began throwing live batting practice to hitters on Monday, February 19, the day of the team’s first official of four full-squad workout days before Friday’s (February 23) spring opener against West Palm Beach complex neighbors, the Nationals. Fun to watch, Monday, was Houston’s ace, Justin Verlander pitching live batting practice to top prospect Kyle Tucker.

Hall of Famer Jeff Bagwell is scheduled to be in Astros’ camp as a guest instructor from Feb. 27 to March 3.
