Wait for it! Leaf blower helps unveil Astros' championship pennant

The giant pennant had a bit of stage fright, and social media lit up after a little blooper.

HOUSTON — One of the most exciting moments of the Houston Astros’ pregame ceremony at their home opener was supposed to be the unveiling of the championship pennant.

But things didn’t exactly go as planned.

The giant pennant had a bit of stage fright, and social media lit up after a little blooper.

The Astros could not take the tarp off. Workers were yanking and tugging, but to no avail. A man with a leaf blower tried to help out.

Astros players were snickering throughout the struggle.

This went on for more than a minute. Twitter went wild over the incident, but the best thing? The Astros’ leaf blower now has a Twitter account.

So the Astros now have two MVPs: Jose Altuve and the leaf blower.
