Houston Astros: What if every player had a cool fan section?
By Kyle Cardoza
Jose’s Hitting Bonanza
When I think of the best hitter in the league for average, Jose Altuve comes to mind for several reasons. Most notably, the All-Star won the batting title each of the past four years.
But can anyone take down the king of hits in his own section?
The second baseman will likely be on the field, so maybe that’s not an accurate question. However, I’m sure someone can make this a realistic challenge.
I’m sure everyone is aware of a golf projector screen that allows someone to hit the golf ball into it and it shows where it would land. Why not try that with baseball, except against a virtual pitcher?
Think of Wii Sports but more realistic. It’d be like one of those games with a radar gun. But this is more futuristic. It needs to happen.
Latin America – the Section!
Yuli Gurriel, Marwin Gonzalez and Carlos Correa should be reminded of home in this part of the stadium. Whoever designs the section will ensure the section exemplifies the significant traditions from their hometowns.
From food to folklore to music, everything is traditional. And that would inspire plenty of promotional days that involve the section.
Musical instruments are handed out for fans to play. Dancing contests occur on occasion. Fans can bring the party to the baseball game.
All the Astros need is to survey their players from this area to see how to perfect it. Surely, they would know more than anyone in the Houston organization.
A-Breg’s Hangout
I wonder what it would be like to watch a baseball game – at a baseball stadium – in a hammock — seems pretty relaxing.
Well anyone lucky enough to sit in this section has all the perks of a sunny day on an island in Houston. The Astros probably don’t spend time at the beach during the season. Neither do die-hard fans.
But this would allow both to have some fun. Fruity drinks in coconuts and palm leaves exemplify a vacation somewhere where it’s sunny and 65.
Well, why not have the luxury of that while watching the reigning champions take over the American League West?
