The Minnesota Twins are coming to town to visit the Houston Astros. With them, they bring one of, if not the most clutch Astro of all time back to Minute Maid Park for his first time as an opponent.

Carlos Correa’s final at-bat as an Astro was game six of the 2021 World Series, flying out to right field. It was assumed at the time that was most likely his last swing playing for Houston. But with the report last week that Correa will opt out of his three-year contract with the Twins, there’s still a possibility for a reunion with his former team.
