And the field could be called the Plantation. And the luxury boxes could be called Master's Quarters. I mean, if we want to truly remember the city's history...

yep

Nice homage to Tommy Seebach on this one:

New mascot is Maurice and they'll be planting a peach tree in center field ala the former Tal's Hill at MMP.

---

Only thing worse than Tal's hill was the live Enron stock ticker at field level.

RIP tal's hill and Enron stock ticker.

---

they really had an Enron stock ticker?!?! don't remember that - what a horrible idea

---

It was real.

Nobody wants to talk about it but 100% real.

RIP Enron stock ticker.

I hope they have a screen they can play the first minute of this clip on:

Dumb name but I'll still go. It's kind of a good time and a decent deal.

I think it showed a bunch of other local company stocks too, it wasn't just on Enron's. It eventually switched to just showing the game's score and out of town scores between innings

I think it showed the stock symbols of sponsor companies now that you mention it. I even think it lasted for a few years after the renaming to Minute Maid, but I might be wrong on that.

Does the organization still hold the rights to the Colt .45s?

We were on it and not a sponsor of the Astros. I think they tried to get all (or most) Houston based public companies.

I remember a dedicated led stock ticker just for Enron stock. Seems like it was on the third base line at field level.

I remember the ticker with Houston based companies as well where it would flash three or so companies at a time, but I remember Enron had its own dedicated ticker.

Its 20+ years ago so I'm probably wrong, but I got a clear memory of this dedicated Enron ticker.

Anyone remember this?

Not to defend Enron but most companies track and highlight their stock price.

I'm guessing they'll snatch the name the Texans rejected and go with Apollos

---

The Houston Apollos are an already existing baseball team. They were exclusively a traveling team in the American Association, an independent league, but are seeking admittance into a new league as last year was a temporary deal.

Those Nat gas prices tho…

Don't know if it's the craziest mascot out there but whenever I'm in Montgomery I'm always amused that their team is the biscuits.

Why does a travel only team need to be from somewhere?

A new journey begins.

The hat with the SL logo is actually pretty cool.

Why the hell would they not name their mascot Maurice?

Totally agree. Failure.

My 8-year-old son's reaction:

"That's not a great name"
"Although the logo is pretty cool"
He then asked about the mascot, and was fully on board. I would say give it a year, and everyone will come around.

I thought Skeeters was a great independent name for the area but get the tie to the Astros with Space Cowboys. I'm on good with it at this point.

Although I do still think letting the Rangers have Round Rock as their AAA is a bad move from a state ownership standpoint.

The Astros used to own this state prior to getting off Fox Sports and losing Round Rock the first time. The Rangers were really only a DFW team.

They got Round Rock, made back to back WS, and then got Fox Sports all to themselves really growing their presence in this state. My family in Victoria still can't watch Astros games on cable so they watch the Rangers. My 11 year old nephew is a Rangers fan even though they suck because he can't watch the Astros on cable.

Is it just me or do two of the hats look very gray in the stand-alone pictures but very black in the picture with the players?

Either way, the hats are the best part of this whole deal. The name and jerseys (particularly having to put Space Cowboys on two levels on the home whites) leave a whole lot to be desired.

The orange brimmed hat look fantastic.

At least they're not the Colon Cowboys.
