The Houston Astros celebrated their 2017 World Series victory on Monday before their home opener. The unveiling of their banner didn’t go as planned, to the amusement of some the Astros players.
The banner would eventually be revealed to the delight of the fans and with the help of leaf blowers. That’s how you kick off the home opener.

The rest of the ceremony seemed to go off without a hitch and the Astros picked up their 4th win of the season with a 6-1 win over the Orioles. You can’t blame them for struggling with the banner, they don’t often unveil them in Houston.
A pregame for the ages. 🏆#AstrosHomeOpener | #NeverSettle pic.twitter.com/boyvv8TIX5
