Astros Legend Gives Amazing Speech During ALDS Celebration

In this story:
The Houston Astros have advanced to the American League Championship Series for the seventh consecutive year.
It's a remarkable run for the franchise that has turned themselves into one of the best teams in the MLB the past decade and one of the best postseason performers of all time.
After dominating the AL side of the playoff bracket for so many years and coming off a long season that saw them win the World Series last year, there might have been some questions about how much hunger this team had left in their system.
Astros legend Justin Verlander shut down all those questions with his incredible speech in the clubhouse following their clinching win.
The NSFW message was capture by Fox Sports and broadcasted on their social media page.
He started it off by talking about how Houston had to grind through the regular season, battling injuries and things seemingly not going their way.
Verlander also mentioned how he wasn't even a part of the team at the start of the season but he's happy to be back.
"Seventh (bleeping) time. Seventh (bleeping) time. Alright, don't take that for granted," he proclaimed in front of the players waiting to pop their champagne bottles.
The Astro players then counted down from seven to pop their bottles and celebrate.
It's truly a unbelievable run that they're on.
They're the first team in MLB history to make the ALCS for the seventh consecutive season and became just the second team ever to make their league's conference championship seven times in a row.
Houston fans shouldn't take that for granted either.
