MLB Game: Astros vs Cubs + field pass

[Tig]

I somehow managed to win four 9th row tickets and a field pass for a recent Astros game and their Player of the Decade Awards presentation to Jimmy Wynn (1960's), Jose Cruz (1970's), Nolan Ryan (1980's couldn't attend), Jeff Bagwell (1990's, and recently returned as batting coach), and Craig Biggio (2000's).

Unfortunately, we didn't get to meet any of the players, but I got to watch the awards on the field from behind home plate, talking with owner Dreyton McLane. Oh, and the Cubs won! Still, a great time spent with my family.
