Oscar the Grouch turns up to help Angels fans trash Astros

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Even Oscar the Grouch showed up at Angel Stadium to trash the Houston Astros. A person in a costume of Sesame Street’s trash can-dwelling green creature sat nine rows behind the Astros’ dugout while the Los Angeles Angels finished up their two-game series with the Astros. Houston will get the full force of baseball fans’ displeasure over their sign-stealing scandal this season, and Anaheim has been quite inhospitable to the Angels’ AL West rivals. On Monday night, fans threw an inflatable trash can and a real trash can out of the elevated right field stands and onto the Angel Stadium warning track.
