HOUSTON — Hundreds of Astros fans clad in orange jerseys and T-shirts crowded downtown Houston early Friday, waving banners and pennants hours ahead of a parade to honor their World Series championship team.
Many fans played catch in front of City Hall, where a rally will he held after the parade begins at 2 p.m. The crowd roared with cheers and applause when someone started playing Queen's classic song, "We Are the Champions."
Several cars drove along the parade route before the roads were closed to traffic, honking their vehicles' horns as drivers and passengers waved to fans along the way.
