Simone Biles is no stranger to winning. In fact, with five Olympic medals and 14 world championship medals, she kind of has that whole victory thing down. So, perhaps that's why her hometown Houston Astros had her on the field for the ceremonial first pitch ahead of Game 3 of the World Series.
The gymnast, who resumes full-time training this week, joined astronaut Scott Kelly and Dynamo legend Brian Ching on the field as injured Texans defensive end J.J. Watt had pitching honors. The star-studded group, who were joined by Dash star and Watt's girlfriend Kealia Ohai, even hung out during the game.

Biles even got up close and personal with an eagle.

And because -- duh! -- Biles doesn't lose, the Astros won on Friday night. Interestingly, she didn't comment on Game 4 via social media and the team lost, but she did ahead of Sunday's Game 5 and -- surprise, surprise -- they won.
The Astros might want to consider bringing Biles back to Los Angeles with them for Game 6.
