"It's going to be exciting," Houston outfielder Chas McCormick told reporters. "To be able to go to Mexico and play in a (different) stadium, it's going to be a good time. I think it's going to be beautiful there and it's always nice to play in warm weather. Just play against the Rockies and spread the Astros and Rockies around in Mexico, it's a beautiful thing."
