The Astros uniforms of that era always stood out to me because so many teams were in the powder blue.

They definitely stood out. A lot of people love the Tequila Sunrise uniforms (or at least they do now, I'm not sure they did back then), and I do too, but I think the ones with out the colored stripes on the bottom of the jersey might be even better. I'll be ranking my top 5 non-powder blue uniforms of the era in a few weeks.

That is my favorite all time throw back jersey. On our tour at Minute Maid Park they actually referred to it as the "after burner" uniform. It goes along with their Space City theme but Tequila Sunrise is definitely what has stuck! For me it's pure nostalgia and a total vibe!

My Pavlovian response to hearing "Gathering Crowds" is to grab my glove and head outside. Unless the Royals will be on NBC Game of the Week. Mel Allen followed by Vin Scully! How about that?

YES! That's baseball nirvana right there.

What about that!!! Great job!

Kevin Seitzer was a lot skinnier back in the day, huh. He is such a good hitting coach for Braves now. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks, Ed! Could definitely use Seitzer in KC now. I know they won a World Series after they fired him, but big picture, I think that move was a big mistake.
