historic opening night

tonight marks the beginning of the major league baseball season, and the opening night game features the texas rangers at the houston astros in the astros first ever american league game.  after 50 seasons in the national league, the astros are starting a new chapter in the american league.  this was at the request of new ownership.  the new owners of the astros put in the condition that the astros move to the AL as part of purchasing the team.  commisioner bud selig agreed to it and the sale took place.  with both the AL and NL  having 15 teams, this starts a season long bit, an interleague series.  the first AL vs NL series starts in cincinnati as the reds host the los angeles angels.  first game is tomorrow.
