You just showed you are a troll by doubling down on your idiotic post.
I got in free to those seats because I was a bird dog scout for Stan Hollmig.

Fuck off Trumper. Your felon got beat and will get beat again.
Take your shit elsewhere. This a baseball board. Twitter is where you belong, not here.

Sure…let’s go with that one.
I don’t remember there ever being black seats. There were blue, orange, yellow, red, silver and dark gray, but I don’t know where they were black.
No black seats for sure.
He is sleeping now apparently.
It trusting a baseball opinion of the worth of a prospect, I think I will trust a guy who has spent 30 years with some kind of scout in his title who is the Astros GM over a guy who perports to know random Dome trivia.
Prospects are prospects - what they might become. 25 year old prospects are older prospects. 25 year old prospects who strike out over 30% of the time and don’t get on base are 4th and 5th outfielder candidates.
Kyle Tucker at 25 was in his 5th season in the majors and finished top 15 for the MVP award. This year at age 27 he was having a great year before he was injured. He still is 2nd on the team in WAR and he has in played in forever. That is not a prospect that is reality - that is what is

It’s always interesting to watch some discuss the merits of a move like the acquisition of Kikuchi or handling of Tucker. Discussing the perceived merits on an Astros forum seems to make a lot of sense. Calling the moves bad is just a brazen disregard of the facts of the matter: 8 straight ALCS’, 4 WS, 2 WS Championships. Or, as a friend of mine used to say to refocus a conversation; “Scoreboard, chump!”.

Well, there is room for improvement there, I suppose.
Please, do not make me think about 2019.

That will always haunt me.
Longest walk of my life was back to my car that night. In the 40-degree rain.
The drive back to North Texas that night/morning was quite long.
It always is.
Makes me sick even now. Then, Cole pulled his shit.

Yes, but every postseason since then he has gotten to sit on his pile of money and watch the Astros play in the ALCS and in two WS, while his beloved Yankees (checks notes) have played in only five postseason series, including one ALCS which (checks notes again) they lost to the Astros. I hope he has hemorrhoids.

Who is this Cole guy you both speak of?

I’m pretty sure there were black seats. As I recall, this was the seating arrangement:
Diamond Level Boxes Lettered
Field Level 200s Red
Mezzanine Level 400s Orange
Pavillion Outfield 400s Black - these were the only non-padded seats in the dome
Club Level Single/Double Digits plus Press Boxes 500s
Loge Level 600s Gray
Upper Level 700s Rainbow
Sky Box Level 900s Dark Gray
Back in the day, Jehovah’s Witnesses cleaned these seats after the rodeo in exchange for use of the facility for their District Conventions that were held in the summer every year.
You mean the Cole that lost last night to the very team he cried about NOT pitching to in his final game of 2019 before he became an affiliate of himself???

I do not think there were black in the late 60s, but I cannot say for sure.
I guess I am wrong:
“the standard black plastic bleacher seats”
This when the seats were being sold. I sat out there a lot 1968-71 and do not remember black.
