That's kinda odd. Celebrating the changing of a name? They were a franchise for 3 years prior to 1965, just as the Colt .45's.
Indeed. It could be something to do with the Astrodome itself too. But that is also a little odd, since they don't play there anymore and haven't for a while.That's kinda odd. Celebrating the changing of a name? They were a franchise for 3 years prior to 1965, just as the Colt .45's.
Teams will do anything to sell a few more pennants/patches or whatever. I remember I lived in Maryland in the mid-90s and I still have a "40 year anniversary" pennant for the Orioles moving to Baltimore. 40 years, not 50. Kinda funny. It is signed by Mark McLemore and Leo Gomez though, so that's cool.Indeed. It could be something to do with the Astrodome itself too.
