VIDEO: George Springer's Quote About Yankee Stadium Atmosphere Should Get Yankee Fans Ready to Rock
By Parker White
Even though the Houston Astros and New York Yankees clinched their divisions early, it didn't mean they had nothing to play for, especially the Astros. Home-field advantage is something you want to have, and I bet Astros outfielder George Springer is happy his team has it. Don't believe me? Check out his comments about playing at Yankee Stadium:
THIS AINT FOR THE WEAK THIS IS THE HOME OF THE BRAVE. DONT LET US TAKE HOME FIELD IN THE FIRST 2 GAMES . CAUSE YA WONT BE GETTING OUT OF THE BRONX ZOO ALIVE.even springer knows wassup. WHO GONNA PACK THE HOUSE &INTIMIDATE THESE GUYS!!? #yankees #NextManUp #astros #ALCS #ShookOnes pic.twitter.com/jgd0GB43nl

Yankee Stadium in October is a madhouse. Just ask literally any player who's played there. The place feels like it's going to come down, and if you are the opposition, it can't be all that fun.
Springer said it got so loud last time at Yankee Stadium in 2017 he thought the stadium would fall over. Glad to have home field advantage. #Astros #TakeItBack

Springer knows this, and has to be glad the first two games of the ALCS -- as well as a potential Game 7 -- will be held in Houston.
