Buried underneath the stories of Sandusky, Krzyzewski, and the President’s Cup is the story of the little Houston Astros making a move to the AL West. The Houston Astros’ long-rumored move from the NL Central to the AL West has been confirmed by outgoing team owner Drayton McLane, according to a tweet from USA Today beat writer Bob Nightengale
The Astros sale is on the agenda tomorrow and McLane confirms they are moving to AL West.
As a huge baseball fan, I must say this has absolutely NO impact on me whatsoever. The Houston Astros could move to Japanese Baseball and it wouldn’t make a difference. However, it does impact baseball fans across the country, especially in the NL Central. There goes 15 guaranteed wins a season. The rest of the fans across the country are sitting back today wishing their team played in the AL West. Oakland, Seattle, Houston! Wow, that’d be fun.
