Houston Astros!!!

Bill, how does a guy from Connecticut get to be such a big Astros fan?


And go Braves!

It happened a LOOOOOOONG time ago. In 1974, my best friend in 8th grade took a trip to Houston to visit relatives. When he was there, he went to the Astrodome to see a game. He came back talking all about it and since he was my best friend, he and I started following the Astros. He went to a different school the next year but ever since then, I've followed them and they are my favorite team.

I live in Red Sox country (Northeastern Connecticut, 90 miles from Boston) so last year was quite a time around here. My ex-wife's father was a huge Red Sox fan. He was born in 1924 and passed away in 1996 at the age of 71. He never saw them win a World Series.

I tell ya though, if the Astros had defeated the Cardinals, I dunno what I would have done if it was a Red Sox/Astros World Series.

Sorry Eric, I pretty much hate the Braves



AND the freakin Cardinals are REALLY starting to get on my nerves
