Go Stros!

Adam & I both share a love for baseball, preferably the Astros. We have been to countless games together and had the joy of going to a couple of playoff games. Remember the 18 inning game in October 2005, we were there. Actually, we almost left because I was so tired and I remember telling Adam that if nothing happened after the 18th inning, I wanted to leave. Luckily, something happened and Chris Burke hit a home run that won the game. Glad we didn't leave.

Adam & I both grew up watching Craig Biggio and Jeff Bagwell. Fortunately, we were able to score some tickets to Craig Biggio's last home game. Minute Maid Park was sold out and the lines to get in the doors, were wrapped all around the building. I remember, because it was Mason's first Astros game and it was muggy and extremely hot that day. I loved that Mason's was able to see Craig Biggio play during his lifetime, even if he will never remember it and will only see the pictures.

The picture is so deceiving. I think Mason cried for a few minutes before sleeping his way thru the rest of the game. Atleast he saw the opening dedication to Biggio. Here he is with his Daddy and Uncle Brad.

Biggio at bat! It's still hard for me to think of the team without him. There is no "I" in team, but in my opinion, he was the heart of the Houston Astros.

Although it's still a couple months until Baseball season, we are already preparing Taylor. I only wish we could see or go to more games. If only Dish Network would offer there MLB package, we would get to see our beloved Astros more often.
