Lin Guanglai boarded the plane to Houston with the Yankees entourage, smiling as he looked at the contents on his phone screen: for some reason, heading to the Astros' home field this time, he couldn't shake a certain unease in his heart.
After more than three hours of flying, the plane carrying the Yankees coaching staff, accompanying personnel, and players landed at George Bush Intercontinental Airport; however, when they headed to the hotel to settle in, they found that the sabotage by Astros fans had already begun.
The first issue was the hotel's facilities: the rooms where Yankees players were staying had air conditioning that emitted a moldy smell when turned on, making the players very uncomfortable — coincidentally enough, the occupant of this room was Luis Severino, who was set to pitch in the first game of the series tomorrow.
