I saw Mike pitch in his last 2 yrs in Houston w/ some BAD Astro teams, going 8-11 in 1968 w/ a 2.74 ERA!

You just knew he had the stuff to be a winner--and he got that chance from '69 on when traded to the Orioles for Curt "Boom or Bust" Blefary, whose main claim to fame in Houston was when he hit a HR in the Astrodome on "Foamer Night" w/ the red light on that meant FREE BEER for everybody in the park!!
