    1968 Old Timers All Star Game - saw Satchel Paige, Bob Feller, and Joltin Joe himself.

    Astros game year unknown. Albert Belle hit an upper deck homer (only a few of those). In the same game, a hitter hit a foul tip that popped up over the catcher's head and disappeared. No one could find the ball - where did it go? It was in the umpire's shirt pocket. :eek:

    Houston Gamblers games were the best ... run and shoot and hot cheerleaders from the front row. :grin:

    The first time I heard a Nolan Ryan fastball crack leather. I will never forget the sound, and I was still in the concourse.

    How could I forget getting my tallywacker tugged by my girlfriend during the Garth Brooks rodeo performance when we were in 8th grade??

    ^ She broke it, didn't she? :grin:

    You reminded me of the couple "doing it" in the stadium. Look for a file named "playball.avi" on the interwebs.
