Mike,
The year that Biggio got his 3,000th hit, the Astros had very few season ticket holders, thus not many season tickets ever turn up for this game. Lack of producing a winning team will do that.
The Cubs are really the loan exception to this rule...
BTW, Cubs fans have to be pumped with what is going on with their team in the last couple of years. IMHO getting Joe Madden as their skipper helped gel a group of excellent players to create a real team.
Kudos to Theo Epstein and his team of advanced scouts as well. They seem to have done a terrific job of getting some high quality talent.
