Astros: World Series Champs

Ahhhhh, makes more sense now. I really do appreciate the insight. See it is possible for honest questions to receive honest answer.

Im especially intrigued by the media piece now. I was under the impression the media had brought him down. (and also under the impression many on here didnt like media telling them how to view players, esp homer media, but i digress, LeauxL)

Pete Rose was not a gifted athlete. He made himself an elite baseball player by his hustle and never quit attitude.

I was really bummed when he bet on baseball games while still involved with the game.

The Reds were a very powerful team back then. I enjoyed watching them, even though I was (and still am) an Astros fan.

My grandfather and I got on a greyhound bus from Eunice to see the astrodome the summer of 65. I was 10.

Nice time to see that building for the first time. I was also 10 when I saw it in ‘69. Our baseball team rode a school bus from Erath and made a weekend of it. An amazing weekend for a 10 year old. I still remember being in awe when we walked to our seats.

I remember taking a tour of the place a year or two after it opened. I went to a couple of Astros games with my Grandfather. I remember feeling cold in the place. The scoreboard would light up every time there was a home run,

Saturday mornings on "This Week in Baseball!" Must watch for little Esqueleto.

Thanks for jogging my memory. I had forgot about that show.

good post….

im guessing the reds still win with or without rose though, but does rose became as famous and well liked on another team not in the spotlight at that time.

Astros bounce back bigly with a four pitcher no hitter. Baseball history.

Verlander
Frombar
McCullers (though I'd throw Javier)

I like the Astros chances.

The way the Astros responded on the road last night was very impressive.

Just have to make sure Verlander brings his "A game" tonight and bring it back to Houston with full momentum.
