The right shank is "Manfred" across the top in yellow gold, above a yellow gold likeness of the Houston skyline above a white gold or silver background with "Houston Astros" on the bottom. Below this is the arches at Minute Maid Park, and a small image of Texas, with a star over the approximate location on Houston. Inside the ring under the bezel is engraved the three series records from the Postseason with the logos for the Astros on the left, and the logos of the opposing teams on the right.
