I saw a headline this morning that the Houston Astros were eliminated from this year’s MLB playoffs. I’m not sure why it happened -but it must have been somewhat of an epic collapse because a few weeks ago they were in the driver’s seat.

Here’s a few 1980’s Dickie Thon cards to try to cheer up their fan base.

-first team to play indoor baseball games in 1965. Their home then was the Astrodome aka 8th wonder of the world

-2017 sign stealing cheating scandal. Their GM & Manager were suspended by MLB for the 2020 season and subsequently canned by their owner. The players received immunity for their testimony

Always like to see the stadium in the background of a card…especially love this one because it’s the Astrodome…and I still dig those Astros uniforms…
