A Devil alone does not a Good Sport make...
by Pat Darnell
Lucifer had a night of self-inflicted mania. He was hyper ventilating after his challenging affair.
Harry had laughed at him all night long. Lucifer threw the baseball like a girl, and swung the bat like a putz. Every ball hit or thrown to Lucifer, he bobbled.
"Hey, Luci, you have to get up off your belly to play this game," had said Dirty Luck Harry, as he laughed and laughed and laughed. (to be continued)

I would like to list some semi-useless things about me.
Semi-useless Item #1) My brother David and I were eye-witnesses at the "longest baseball game to go without anyone scoring" in national baseball history. I fell asleep in the 21st inning. Here is the link Astros History ...Astros won in the bottom of the 24th inning, 1 to 0.
It was played at
the Houston Astrodome, first indoor domed stadium erected, the brain child of Judge Roy Hofheinz who built many things in Houston. The "Dome" now sits vacant most of the time, next to what replaced it with new retractable roof technology, Minute Maid Park, formerly Enron Field.In 2006, Roy "the Judge" Hofheinz was inducted in the Texas Baseball Hall of Fame.
Notes:
Astros' Rivals: St. Louis Cardinals, Texas Rangers
Astros' Famous Fans: George H. W. Bush, Barbara Bush, Chamillionaire, Paul Wall, Hilary Duff, Matthew McConaughey, Tracy McGrady
and with fans like that, who knows? Maybe you are the next most famous Astros Fan...

24 innings of 1-0 baseball. Explains a lot. You guys go for pizza afterward?
Loyal fans, salt of the earth, root root root for the home team. Baseball is about tradition, no?
Two words: Rainbow Guts

Definitely. I added that link to the photos. We were out just for grins, and turned out a sleeper. But by chance only are real traditions born. Yes to baseball, and the night out to remember.
