For the Astros to open this season of hope and optimism at Yankee Stadium on Monday at 1:05 p.m. ET is absolutely perfect.
First, there's the symbolism. This is baseball's grandest stage, its brightest lights. To play here is to feel the history.
This also is where the Astros had their finest moment of 2015, a 3-0 victory over the Yankees in the American League Wild Card Game.
They celebrated wildly, a bunch of young guys soaking in a moment they'd never had before, having risen from nowhere to make their first playoff appearance in a decade.
