Houston Astros Tickets |
Anaheim Angels Tickets |
The ballpark was Houston's first retractable-roofed stadium, protecting fans and athletes from Houston's notoriously humid weather like its predecessor, the Astrodome, but allowing fans to also enjoy outdoor baseball, something they couldn't enjoy in the Astrodome. Its largest entrance is inside what was once Houston's Union Station, and the left-field side of the stadium features a train as homage to the site's history. The train moves along a track on top of the exterior wall beyond left field, whenever an Astros player hits a home run, or when the Astros win a game. After losing the World Series, the Astros prepared for the Off Season. The Astros signed Preston Wilson to take Lance Berkman's spot in leftfield. Wilson played with the Colorado Rockies & the Florida Marlins before joining the National League Champion Houston Astros. With Bagwell's shoulder injured, he didn't return to the Astros. With Preston Wilson playing leftfield, Lance Berkman took Bagwells place at first base. The Astros also lost pitcher Roger Clemens to free agency, but he returned to the Astros June 22, 2006. The Astros also prepared for the 2006 Major League Baseball Draft, they drafted catcher Max Sapp.
