Former Astros first-base coach Rich Dauer could hardly contain himself when Jose Altuve homered for the third time in Game 1 of the 2017 American League Division Series against the Red Sox at Minute Maid Park.A.J. Hinch’s homecomings are no longer newsworthy. He’s managed seven games inside Minute Maid Park since the unceremonious end to his Astros tenure. Houston’s World Series championship last season allowed the franchise to exorcise some sign-stealing demons from its past.

Turnover does not diminish the admiration Hinch still holds for the city and franchise. Relationships are crucial to Hinch, a Stanford psychology graduate praised around baseball for the bonds he seems to easily create.

Before the game, he demonstrated how deep the relationships from that club remain.
