It’s an indisputable fact that baseball is America’s favorite pastime. Disregarding its declining popularity, stadiums still see attendance in thousands, with fans cheering for their favorite teams. Some of those fans often include celebrities from different industries. After all, they’re human too and they can only ignore the lure of baseball for so long. Among one of the most famous fans of a popular team is musician Travis Scott, who is a superfan of the Houston Astros.

A long-time admirer of the reigning World Series champs, the 32-year-old is a Houston native. So rooting for his city’s baseball team comes naturally; in fact, he even celebrated the team’s victory over the Philadelphia Phillies last year. And recently, Scott made a special gesture for the current team regarding his new album.
