The Astros official home opener for the 2018 season takes place on this Monday evening. First home opponent of the season?
But this game in Minute Maid Park isn’t like past home openers. This opener will be the first time in franchise history that the Astros took the field as the defending World Series champions in front of the home crowd. Minute Maid Park better be ready for a “golden” celebration. Not only do we get to see the banner raised on Monday and the ring ceremony on Tuesday, the Astros will be donning a uniform and hat with gold letters and numbers to commemorate their championship.
