I somehow managed to win four 9th row tickets and a field pass for a recent Astros game and their Player of the Decade Awards presentation to Jimmy Wynn (1960's), Jose Cruz (1970's), Nolan Ryan (1980's couldn't attend), Jeff Bagwell (1990's, and recently returned as batting coach), and Craig Biggio (2000's).
Unfortunately, we didn't get to meet any of the players, but I got to watch the awards on the field from behind home plate, talking with owner Dreyton McLane. Oh, and the Cubs won! Still, a great time spent with my family.
Warmups, from our seats
Decade Players parade
Cruz, Wynn, Bagwell, and Biggio
field prep
Autographs - Hunter Pence in the black sox, an up and coming slugger we'll see much more of in the future
Chris Johnson, 3B
Cubs, National Anthem
Astros, National Anthem (my favorite pic)
