After a sluggish start in the World Series, the Houston Astros traveled to the nation’s capital and painted the town orange. And moments after each of three victories in Washington against the Nationals, the Astros set a local artist to work back home to paint H-town.
Reid Ryan, president of business operations for the Astros, explained the team’s postseason graffiti project on social media. “Each time the #Astros win a postseason game, a local graffiti artist will paint a mural for that game,†he tweeted. “Hopefully we end up with 11 of these around H-Town.â€
Dubbed “Paint H-Town,†the mural series now stands at 10, after Gonzo247’s latest creation in Pearland Town Center. At the end of the regular season, the Astros needed 11 wins to clinch the World Series. Win No. 11 could come Tuesday night.
