Astros Caravan and FanFest: Monday and Tuesday's schedule

Are you an Astros fan feeling down about the lack of baseball?

Do you find your life affected without the sweet, sweet sound of a ball cracking off a bat or that stadium organ grinding out "Charge?"

You may be suffering from something we call "Low BB." It's when you don't have enough baseball in your life.

Luckily, our crack team of TCB doctors has found a cure for it this week and this week only. You can get your winter baseball fix this week at stops around the state for the Astros Winter Caravan. That all culminates in the annual FanFest on Saturday, complete with autograph sessions and a chance to take batting practice on the field.

Monday opened the Caravan's trip through Texas and beyond. The schedule for Houston-area stops on Monday and Tuesday are below. In addition to these, the Astros will be stopping through San Antonio on Tuesday. If you get a chance to attend any of these events this week, let us know. Write a FanPost about it. Share your photos with us. if we get enough of them, we'll even put together a special post highlighting all your content.

Oh, and the first person to ask Anthony Bass about stride length or get him to sign Ryan's card wins the internet.
