I go for both. When I was growing up in DFW they were in two different leagues and there was no inter league play. We got about 100 or so Rangers games and maybe 40 Astros games. Then when I got to College Station I got both. Then I moved to Houston and was there for the good years and World Series run.
So I go for both.
I vaguely remember Scotts perfect game
Ryan was an Astros pitcher first.
I can recite the Rangers lineup in 1986-88 and probably tell you half of their stats.
Remember that Angels pitcher throwing one in Arlington
Had a chance to go to Rogers game but missed it.
I remember listening to Ryans 5000 strikeout on I 30. I remember the no hitter in Oakland but not the other.
Used to make my dad take me to Arlington to eat at Bobby Vs.
Saw Ryan take a no hitter into the 7th in Arlington. He ran out of gas and gave up a cpuple of runs.
I still have tickets to an Astros playoff game in I think 97 against the Braves but they got swept and the game wasn't played.
Remember Juan Gonzales hitting a home run in the first playoff game against NY. I was listening to it while delivering pizzas in CS.
Went to see Gwynn in Houston his last season but he didn't play. Was disappointed.
Saw Ripkin in Arlington his last season. I think I was at the game he homered but it may have been a different one.
250 million dollar contract.
Saw Clemens pitch his last playoff game.
Heard the Pujos home run on the radio from a park in the Heights. Couldn't handle watching it on TV. Watched game 6 and partied all night.
Own a special collectors edition full size Louisville Slugger 2005 World Series bat with all of the players names engraved. It is in my sons room and was actually a gift from my mom to my wife.
Was on 7th street in Fort Worth for the win over the Rays.
Listened to both two strike two out pitches in my truck outside my house in Vegas. Too nervous to watch on TV.
Wrote a protest letter to the VP of marketing for the Astros against the move to the AL. I actually got a personal response from him. I'm over it now. But I do miss the NL Central and watching the game with the DH and without the DH.
So yea. I go for both.
