"It's great," Altuve said. "I've been doing this for the last five years and it keeps getting better and better, with more fans every year, and that's why we're here."
Astros general manager Jeff Luhnow, who participated in a Q&A session with the fans along with manager A.J. Hinch, said he feels an energy around town when talking about the Astros.
"Fans are optimistic, as am I, that this is going to be a really fun season at Minute Maid Park," he said.
