The 18 inning game. I was sick, sat in the same spot on the couch and ate the same amount of Reese pieces between every inning. Watching Ausmus and Burke hit those homeruns was amazing.

Second was watching Biggie get his 3000th hit.

Lastly I got to meet Boswell and Alumnus when they came to LSU.

The seats and smell of the dome
Opening day of Enron field
The whole 98 season and the twinkle of hope I had when they signed Randy Johnson
Throwing fits of rage in 05 when we got swept
Biggios 3,000 hit

My stepdad grew up in deer park and went to school and church with Andy Petite and they have been friends since. Then my younger sister is close friends with one of his sons who is her age and we got to go to some games and sit in his suite in 05. That was pretty cool. Plus I went to his house once and got to play basketball in his home gym with him and Chris Burke when I was younger.

Yeah I know I just said it wrong. I meant really just when we got randy Johnson in General.

In the car in BR during my LSU days listening to the 86 clincher…not on TV in BR. (at least i don't think) Turned it on in about the 7th inning. Saying to my buddy, "they (the announcers) keep dancing around how many hits the Giants have…"

The first site of the Dome from 610.

The blast of cold air when you walked into the dome on a hot day. (MMP is stuffy by comparison)

Game 6…nothing more needs to be said. (and I'm not talking about 2005)

Thinking there was no way they could lose to the Phillies with Ryan on the hill with a three run lead.

Cruz with his extra short sleeves and high socks.

Listening to Gene Elston and Loel Passe as an elementary school kid with no way to follow them but on the radio. Elston>>>>>Milo

Getting wished happy 8th birthday on the scoreboard at the Astrodome.

Those three home games in the 2004 NLCS

Making the freaking World Series

The first half of game 3 in that series

4 game sweep of the Cardinals at the end of 2006 and a big winning streak that almost got them in the playoffs.

I had my birthday in 1994 in the Star Columbia Suites. Orbit came up to wish me a happy birthday and one of my party favors were Darryl Kyle signed baseballs (Still have it to this day). My dad worked for the club during this time in 1994 and then the strike happened and he lost his job. That sucked because we got free tickets to any of the game we wanted. One game we sat in the 2nd row behind the dugout. Sitting in front of us was HOF Frank Robinson with some bimbo feeding him peanuts. Tried to get his autograph and he was a bitch saying he did not sign stuff while the game was going on.

The Astrodome always smelled and was so much cleaner than the Superdome. That was a good one.

I was in the dome the night they announced the Larry Andersen for Jeff Bagwell trade and remembered it on the scoreboard.
