It is also a historic win as it's the first time a visiting team has won all seven games of the 'Fall Classic.'

The Astros led 2-0 after six innings before Washington's Anthony Rendon and Howie Kendrick hit home runs in the seventh to turn the match on its head.

Nationals pitcher Stephen Strasburg was named the series' most valuable player. Strasburg had been the winning pitcher in both his starts, in games two and six.

Celebrations will have continued long into the night in the US capital, but one fan got his right the moment victory was confirmed.

The larger than life supporter, who had front row seats, jumped up on top of a dugout and literally ripped his shirt off.

But that wasn't all. The fan took the opportunity to slide across the surface, chest first!

 In the euphoria of seeing his team become world champions, the fan rips off his shirt

Below you can see the hilarious video, who certainly got a bigger cheer than when US President Donald Trump showed his face during Game 5.
