I would not want to be a part of the Houston Astros squad over the next couple of years - every at bat, player introductions, fans hovering over the dugout, extra security everywhere. It's going to be the least fun time they've ever had playing baseball, and managers of some teams are going to have an extra pitcher or two selected as a sacrificial lamb to get tossed after hitting an Astro in the hip. There are intense team rivalries, but I've never seen a single team vs the rest of the leagues type of interaction that this season is going to bring.
The only thing that might save them is if it is proven that a large number of other teams were also doing similar things. Otherwise the Commish has done a bad job of managing the situation, and even Spring Training is going to be interesting.

Take it all at one time! |

If I were at the game I'd be banging on a trashcan every time the astros were at bat.... The teams could give away mini-trashcans to make it fun |
