Astro pitcher Bud Norris got a surprise when he came out for batting practice yesterday, as Allison Footer reports. His car — his relatively ancient car — was on the warning track, with shaving cream on it that advertised it for sale, cheap.

The keys were hidden for a while from Norris, meaning the car could have been used as target practice, but he was able to drive it away before that happened.
