Round Rock Express Double-A Minor League Baseball - COMING SOON!!!
Fun at the ball park! The Round Rock Express is affiliated with the Astros' farm team organization and this will be their last season here because a Triple-A team will be moving here next year. So far, this team has been a ball of fire and so much fun to watch that I'm going to be sad to see them go! I believe they will go to Corpus Christi, and a Triple-A team that the Nolan Ryan family has acquired out of Canada will be coming here. They better learn to speak Texan quick!

They had an entire film crew in tow, so I'm sure footage of all this will soon be seen on some new "reality" show they're probably going to be in. I can't wait .....
