My grandfather took me to the very first game of the Colt 45's (1962) at Colt stadium that was built in the parking lot of the Astrodome which was under construction at the time. Remember seeing Ernie Banks bat and Roman Mejias hit 2 Hr's for the Colts as the Colt's beat the Cubs for their first win in the National League. The opening day winning Pitcher for the Colt's was Bobby Schantz.

Colt Stadium was sold and used in Mexico for many years before finally being torn down for good

Great Memories
