The Houston Astros play at the FITTEAM Ballpark of Palm Beaches.. do you ever go see them?
That's just their Spring Training home. I've never been, but it just opened 2 or 3 years ago.
You're right. It opened in 2017. It cost them $153 million which is just insane to me.
Their regular home is Minute Maid Park in Houston. I go to four or five games per season. It's a beautiful park.
That's fantastic you get to go so often. Recently Ellen gave away a Chevrolet Blazer to fans at an Astro game at Minute Maid Park. Too bad that isn't a regular occurrence.
They do a raffle each game for like 10,000 dollars. Sadly I've never won.
Man, that would be something. That's almost life-changing money. Hey what do you think about Jose Altuve?
I think he's a great hitter and an inspiration. Nobody thought he could make it to the majors at his height but he's one of the very best.
I like him too. Unfortunately a lot of people don't. When he had his first spring training at bat last year, they booed him.
Yeah that scandal has hurt the team's reputation. Hopefully they'll earn it back.
It's a shame. They stone some electronic signs, which I don't really think is worthy of calling a scandal.
It's what we learn to do in little league, but they did it in the World Series so it's under the microscope.
