Texas Fall/Winter thread!

Yep, that was a great game last night ....... unless you’re a Yankees fan.

My maternal grandfather, from whom I got my first name, was an avid baseball fan. I remember him listening to baseball games on the radio when I was a kid. But the only team names I recall from those days were the New York Yankees and the Brooklyn Dodgers (yeah, I know, the Dodgers later moved). So I was kind of hoping it would be the Yankees vs Dodgers this time; one team from each coast.

I have been waiting for this ever since I went to a Colt 45's game.

I did not make it to a Colt .45's game, but I did go to some $1 game, cheap outfield seats in the Dome.
Saw them play the Padres and the Reds around '69.

3 of my favorite Astros have passed. JR Richards, Darryl Kile and Ken Caminiti.

Jim Wynn and Caesar Cedeno were 2 of the best.

One thing I've noticed in life is, if you can get a woman interested in a baseball team and the small innuendos of the game, you will have 1 of the biggest fans out there.

The Colt stadium was said to be the “hottest place on earth”.

Right after the Dome was built my Dad took me to a game there and I got a souvenir batting helmet with the ‘new’ Astros logo. A few weeks later they were doing promotional visits around town and stopped at a bank in our neighborhood. I was able to get my batting helmet signed by Bob Aspromonte.

Wish I still had that helmet.

This is no lie. My wife and I are first and foremost huge Texas Rangers fans. I like the Astros too and they’re my second favorite team. But after my wife’s dad passed away in 2010 baseball became a “getaway”. Wife turned out to be a diehard fan passing me up. Our Rangers started slipping this year but awesome season for the Astros.

Verlander is awesome. A big kid with a mischievous smile.
