So my dad's side of the family grew up in Detroit, and i was born in Michigan, but moved to Houston when i was very young because my dad works for Chevron and his job required him to move. My dad used to tell me about watching the 1968 World Series in elementary school because it was such a big deal.
Anyways for me.
So the Astros used to be good in the early 2000s, my first memory is going to Minute Maid, being behind the third base dugout in a game against the Diamondbacks (back when they were purple) We won but i don't recall any of it. We went to another game that year, Mike Lamb hit a grand slam off the right field "fowl pole"and we won Chik-fil-a chicken sandwiches. I also remember keeping track of the games we went to. The Astros were 11-3 in games i went to from 2003-2005 (a .785 win%). I routinely went back up to Michigan every summer to visit family. My first game in Comerica, we were allowed to walk on the field before the game, everyone's just taking pictures, i remember my Uncle Andy taking pictures for 3-4 families we never seen before. It's 2007, the Grandyman is having that insane year where he batted .300 with 20+ doubles, triples, homers, and steals. What I remember from that game is that with a runner on, Craig Monroe comes up to bat. The scoreboard said he had 7 homers in the 7th inning or later that year, and he hits the go ahead homer. Oh and Granderson hit a triple that game cuz of course he did.
So there it is. I only remember images and very few details from games i attended before i turned 7. And my first vivid memory was a Tigers game with my whole family when i was 9.
