Night game - Pirates v Astros

Cheap thrills game night at Minute Maid Park. $39 tickets for $9 each. Penultimate section of box seats deep in left field. Brings back memories of when we first moved here 20 years ago and I was rooting for the Pirates against the Astros...after all we lived in Pittsburgh during the heyday of the Steelers and grew to love its teams. Well, the tables have turned yountz guys. I'm a dyed in the wool Astros fan now.



We drove to the game a different way since we made the cake stop (check out the next posting) in Sugar Land first. Here's some skyline photos of Houston. Love the different architecture on the buildings, especially the one with the doughnut hole on the top. That one might make a good challenge in the Red Bull Air Race.






Interesting stats about some of the players.



And the Fat Lady sang as the Astros pulled out a win.
