Thought I would share this story I came across. As one on my favorite Astros growing up, this is a sad read.

Met the guy with my dad many years ago when I was little. Super nice guy who took time to give me an autograph and have a conversation with us. I never really knew what to think of him since I was too young to really know much about the guy. It's great he was one of the guys to come out which led to PED testing, but he had all sorts of problems.

I'll have to read that when I get a chance. He's one of my favorite Astros of all time. I was REALLY close to catching his home run in the final game of the Astrodome in '99. (Which I think turned out to be THE LAST home run in the dome ever)

I'll add that I still hate Derek "Operation Shutdown" Bell. (It relates because we traded Ken for him)

Good read. Sad story.
