Houston Texans first-year head coach DeMeco Ryans was at Minute Maid Park on Monday, and it was not to recruit Houston Astros left fielder/designated hitter Yordan Alvarez to play on defense, even though Alvarez is a prototypical edge rusher with a muscular 6-foot-5-inch frame.
Ryans was in attendance to throw out the ceremonial first pitch before the Astros was set to take on the Chicago Cubs in the first game of the three-game series.
