The tour kicks off on Jan. 8 at the Mattress Firm location in the 8700 block of the S. West Loop. The itinerary will be updated on a special website over the next weeks. The tour will officially kick off at Houston's City Hall at 10:00 a.m. that day, but the event will not be open to the public.

In mid-March, it will even be at the Houston Museum of Natural Science, just in time for spring break in the city.

Making this tour even more exciting? Fans can take photos with the trophy free of charge. Many past appearances of the trophy have come with a price tag.

"Bringing the first World Series Championship to Houston has been an incredible source of pride for the entire Astros organization," said Astros President of Business Operations Reid Ryan. "We look forward to making the Commissioner's Trophy available to Astros fans and reliving that historic experience."

The tour will continue to grow and dates and locations will be added periodically to make over 100 stops in total.
