We moved to Houston in 1967. I remained an Orioles fan but I quickly 'adopted' the '67 Astros crew that included Morgan, Staub, Cuellar, Wynn, Sonny Jackson, Dierker and Ed Mathews. I didn't know anyone so with time on my hands I started a scrapbook like I had done with my teams when I was younger. It was fun and even though the team struggled I looked forward to listening to their radio broadcasts and then slicing up the sports page the next day.
Joe Morgan was a big part of that. He played with passion and style. RIP
