Opening Night!

Last night I got to attend the Opening Night game at Minute Maid Park between the Houston Astros and the Chicago Cubs. It was the 10th year anniversary of the opening of the stadium. I was in attendance at the game in 2000 when Octavio Dotel was the Astros' starter in the first regular season game ever there. It was a very special night.

But the crowd last night was even better, 43,287, which was the largest non-playoff game crowd in Minute Maid history. The game was good, with the starters being Roy Oswalt and Carlos Zambrano. Though the Cubs came away with a 4-2 win, it was good to be back at the "Old Ball Park!"
