- 2000 - The Bucs drew a record announced crowd of 54,399 as Jason Schmidt lost 5-2 to the Astros for TRS’s final home opener. Sadly, the butts in the seats didn’t match the attendance figure even with Christina Aguilera on hand to sing the Anthem; there were maybe 15,000 live fans on hand because of drizzly, 40 degree weather in Pittsburgh.
- 2007 - The Bucs opened the season by sweeping a three game set from the Astros in Houston for the first time since 1991, winning 5-4 at Minute Maid Park behind Tom Gorzelanny. Jose Bautista banged out three hits including a double and drove in three runs to prime the attack.
