The Houston Astros put the rest of MLB on notice Tuesday night. If you're thinking about putting out an emotional video of your team's top prospect making the big-league roster, you're going to have to step up your game.

The Astros took that announcement to another level Tuesday, calling in uber-prospect Cam Smith's family to give him the news that he made the major-league roster. When he realized what was happening, Smith immediately broke down in tears.
