HOUSTON — If you couldn’t stay up late to watch the Astros and Yankees go into extra innings in Game 2 of the AL Championship Series, you weren’t alone.

However, you probably didn’t get photobombed by an Astros Hall-of-Famer while you slept like one youngster in attendance at Minute Maid Park.

As the game carried on late Sunday, Astros Hall-of-Famer Craig Biggio stopped and posed with the young fan who was decked out in Astros gear with his face painted and a glove.
