Any chance Chicago will throw the series again?

I watched the Astrodome (Harris County Domed Stadium) being built from a mosquito pit the Colt .45's were playing in.

I was there in April of 1965 for the first afternoon exhibition game and saw Mickey Mantle hit the first home run.

I got a job with Harry Martin Catering Company and hawked popcorn and sodas all thru high school.

Eventually, I worked the Sky Boxes & Press Level; meeting many celebrities and politicians along the way. I saw rodeos, bullfights, motocross and tennis, but I enjoyed my Astros the best!

Got to take the Stros, Sport..and if the Sox throw the series, well...we'll talk about that later. (Umpires are freaking me out though.)
