"It's going to be exciting," Astros fan Domingo Villarreal said.

Sporting their Astros caps and gear are Angelo and Amanda Castro, who extended their trip just so they could be part of this historic moment.

"We were supposed to be leaving today but we stayed and extra night so we could go to the game," Castro said.

"We're going to both games because we're going to sweep," Villarreal said. "We're doing today, tomorrow and then we're going back home with the win."

The sweetest comeback, they say: a good performance on the field.

"We took out Boston, the Yankees and the Dodgers, all of them in one year, that'd be awesome," Angelo Castro said.
