The entire city of Houston was absolutely buzzing on Monday as they celebrated the Astros' World Series championship with a parade across the city. As fans turned up in bunches, all ready to celebrate the incredible season from their Astros, the crowd couldn't hold back their disdain when a float headlined by US Senator Ted Cruz passed by. Amid the ongoing cheers, the crowd rather quickly changed tune and began savagely booing Cruz and his family. Have a look at Cruz awkwardly waving at the fans who continue to shower him with boos as he moved slowly past them.
Cruz was seen in a military vehicle alongside his family. He was waving at the Astros fans gathered along the streets of Houston, though they did not reciprocate his kindness. Instead, they returned his waves with boobirds en masse, relentlessly trolling Cruz. Amid the chorus of boos, some fans were said to have been seen flipping off the US Senator.
It didn't stop there, however. One angry fan was seen chucking a full can of beer at Cruz, who, in peak athletic form, let it hit him square in the face.

This isn't the first time Cruz has been chirped at or heckled in connection to professional baseball. Just a few weeks ago during the ALCS between the Houston Astros and New York Yankees, Cruz was heckled by Yankees fans in the Bronx, where he was once again booed loudly.
It seems the general perception of him hasn't changed even when mixed with the sweet taste of champagne and a World Series victory.
The Astros have gone all-out for their World Series celebrations, including racking up a $400,000 bill for just champagne after taking down the Philadelphia Phillies in six games.
Their celebrations continued on Monday with the city-wide parade, but even a World Series championship couldn't save Ted Cruz from feeling the wrath of fans in Houston.
