WELL, START BY BRINGIN' BACK THE AWESOME 70s-80s JERSEYS: The Houston Astros were the baseball team of my youth--indeed, my first ever ballgame was one of the Ryan no-hitters in the Astrodome--so I feel compelled to note that new ownership, as part of its "we love the fans" plans (which include cutting prices for tickets and beer) won't rule out changing the team's name. Admittedly, with the team no longer playing in the Dome (the disposal of which is a hot issue in Houston) and the space shuttle program at an end, the justification for the name is minimal, but I suspect they'll stick with it--it's not like the name has a history of failure and ignominy, and there aren't many other options out there. Anyone have suggestions?
