Alexis Pedraza became an instant internet sensation during Game 1 of the ALCS.
The die-hard Astros fan was captured on live TV appearing to cast a spell on the opposing team while wearing a rally towel on her head.
Pedraza told KPRC 2 there was no magic involved and was just having fun.
“I was trying to give our team good juju, good vibes, just a strikeout to go into the next inning,” said Pedraza.
The 21-year-old has worked for the Astros organization for two years as a greeter and usher. She said since the ALCS, things have been a bit different at the ballpark.
“It’s been pretty crazy. I’ve had a lot of people at the games recognize me when I went to Game 6 with my family, taking pictures with me. I think it’s really, really cool because it shows a lot of people are having fun,” Pedraza said.
Pedraza has become a meme and even has a t-shirt with her face on it.
“It’s been a lot of fun, especially with fans back in the ballpark. For me, being in that environment it’s like my home,” said Pedraza.
Pedraza told KPRC 2 the good vibes and juju are reserved for big moments, so she’ll be watching the series closely and ready if needed.
