  • The 101 diamonds on top of the ring represent the team’s number of regular-season victories.
  • The 56 round diamonds surrounding the logo represent the 56 seasons of the franchise leading up to its first World Series title. The Roman numeral “LVI” on the side of the ring also represents the 56 seasons.
  • In each ring, the recipient’s name and Astros wordmark are above the Houston skyline lifted up by the left-field wall, signifying what the championship meant to fans affected by Hurricane Harvey.
