September 2, 2017
It was an emotional day at Minute Maid Park on this day back in 2017. Having been displaced during Hurricane Harvey, having to play three 'home games' in Tampa Bay against the Rangers in the previous series, the club finally was able to get back home. While the crowds were lighter due to the devastation in the city at the time, they were as loud as ever during each win that day in their home ballpark.
