How could I forgot to list Jose Cruz on my list of Astros from the past. Also one of my all time favorites. I recall watching him be dejected following the extra innings 1980 NLCS. loss to the Phillies. He always seemed to come through with a late innings RBI in a tight game.

Joe Morgan, or am I showing my age?

Joe Morgan and Rusty Straub both played for the Astros before they were traded.

I flew to Atlanta on six occasions during the Maddox, Glavine, Chipper Jones, Andrew Jones, Smoltz and Avery era; never saw more Brave jerseys than Astros.

But is interesting that you mention the Astros prior to 2017. I can remember a time when no one ever wore a Brave jersey in Lafayette while Atlanta had such vaunted players like Biff Pocoroba, Glenn Hubbard, Roland Office and Phil Neikro.

Not a jersey guy, but I sure rocked my Braves hats during the Dale Murphy, Claudell Washington, and Bob Horner days.

I'm 38 and absolutely a product of Ted Turner's TBS days. It's indisputable that, for the 40 and under demographic, social media posts from "diehard" Astros fans went from nonexistent to overbearing in and around the 2017 season.
