Growing up in the outskirts of Houston, I played lots of baseball and enjoyed watching the game as well. Being a fan of baseball made me become an Astros fan since I am from Houston. Throughout my life I have been to many games with my family, friends, and many others and have countless memories of watching the Astros from a casual afternoon summer game to watching them win in the playoffs with my friends. It holds my most favorite live sporting event I have ever been to and brings back great memories. Also it is home to the 2017 world series champions besides what anybody says. Minute Maid is also a really cool looking stadium that was finished in 2000, it has a retractable roof, was updated in 2016 with a new centerfield and many upscale and tasty restaurants.
