I saw Sandy Valdespino play as an Astro when I was a kid. I also bought cards at the Ben Franklin, in a small town in Louisiana where my grandparents lived. We also saw the twins a few times - the Astros used to play a 3-game series with them at the Dome, during pre-season. The highlight though was a pre-season game against the Orioles, my second-favorite team. Poor Frank Robinson - a very good manager stuck in Montreal. Maybe he can pull them out of their history-long funk.
