Apparently, the Houston Astros are as excited about the NFL starting as the rest of us. The worst team in baseball will rock NFL jerseys on their road trip to Oakland September 4 according to the team’s website.

“I think you’ll see guys wearing the jersey of their favorite team, or favorite player,” manager Bo Porter said. “A lot of guys may wear jerseys of guys that played at their college that are now playing in the NFL. Maybe a combination of different things.”

Porter said he will be paying homage to the Texans’ Andre Johnson during the road trip. Houston’s football team is coming off a 12-4 2012 season, so you can’t really blame the Astros for wanting Houston sports fans to focus on the impending positives.

Another positive for the Astros; they’re undefeated in September!
