Dusty Baker, Houston Astros bracing for harsh reception in return to Yankee Stadium

The Houston Astros return to Yankee Stadium on Tuesday for the first time since Major League Baseball's investigation of their sign-stealing scandal from the 2017 season, and manager Dusty Baker is not expecting a warm welcome.

"It is going to be wild," Baker told USA Today Sports.

The Yankees and their fans have been among the Astros' harshest critics since MLB announced that the organization used a center-field camera, video monitor and trash can to relay opposing teams' pitches to Houston hitters during the 2017 season. The Astros defeated the Yankees in seven games in the 2017 ALCS before beating the Dodgers in the World Series.
