Citizens Bank Park vs the Houston Astros?
The Astros began this year’s MLB season as one of the prime favorite contenders to win the World Series. With their exhilarating performances throughout the regular season, they justified the ‘favorites’ tag. The Astros had the best win-loss statistics in the regular season and maintained an unbeaten run in the playoffs. Consequently, they entered their second consecutive World Series showdown against the Phillies this time.?
On the other hand, it’s a rather contrasting story for the Phillies. Except for the most optimistic fans, very few expected the Phillies to reach the World Series. The Astros are still the favorites to some extent, but the Phillies aren’t backing down by any chance. So while the two teams go fighting it out with hammers and tongs, the fans are stepping up.?
Someone recently placed trading cards of Astros players at the Citizens Bank Park urinals. Though this isn’t something unique in baseball, as many fans have done so before. A famous steakhouse in Houston recently put New York Yankees logos as urinal cakes during the American League championship. While the Los Angeles Dodgers fan base also once placed Astros players’ trading cards in the urinal as a revenge act.?
‘B/R Walk-Off’ network posted the news on their Twitter account, quoting: “The urinals at Citizens Bank Park really have Astros cards in them.”?
