Speaking of Roman Mejias I was at the very first Colt 45’s game and it was against the Cubs in 1962. Ramon hit 2 homers in the game for the Colts. One of the 64 games they won in their first season. It was played in a stadium they built in what was to be parking lot for the Astrodome which was under construction at the time. I think the stadium was sold to Mexico and may still be in use. It was called Colt stadium at the time, I think. The classic Ernie Banks batting stance is etched in my memory.. I was 13 then and now I’m 75.
