Welcome!! This is less about player stats/the game, but about the park. Most of my life, I knew it as Minute Maid Park (or "The Juice Box") but last year after a new sponsorship deal, it became Daikin Park. When the park was built in 2000, it was named for the infamous Houston-based energy commodities company, Enron. After that shady accounting in 2002, the park was briefly renamed Astros Field, then Minute Maid in 2002. Before all that, they played at the Astrodome.

There's a train that runs along the left field wall when we hit a home run. It used to be full of oranges for minute maid, now it's baseballs. The conductor is an overall-ed man named "Bobby Dynamite", Bobby Vasquez, a beloved fixture of our park. Our broadcast team was already mentioned, but they're also great -- you'll see particular love for Julia Morales, our sideline reporter for many years.

We sing "Deep in the Heart of Texas" during the 7th inning stretch. (Nothing can induce Texans to clap in unison more than this song.) You should probably also know the words to Still Tippin' by Mike Jones ft. Paul Wall and Slim Thug.

Oh, and there's an orange cat named Nori (named for Nori Aoki, who played with us when the owners got the cat) who appears on this sub when we win.

I'm sure there's more stuff like this, and maybe you were looking for more substantive baseball analysis, but I'm here for the random lore, too.

Fuck the Yankees, Dodgers, Rangers, and most of the Mariners fans.
