I have not. Mailed them out Nov 3, and was told it would take several weeks for them to print and send.

I'm curious if they will be just standard printed tickets like you get from the regular season. Or if they'll be the outlandish Championship type ticket you would expect
Im looking for Ray Finkle.... and a clean pair of shorts. Im just a very big Finkle fan. This is my Graceland, sir.

Called the Box Office and was told the printed tickets will be the commemorative versions (like the ones people were wearing on lanyards).

Nope, no cost. Just need to send in a self-addressed envelope with a stamp (I put two stamps on there just in case). It is a Guest Services thing they do for people with the digital tickets.

I made a copy of the two seat locators just in case. Mailed the originals in with a self-addressed and stamped envelope, and a little note requesting a game ticket for the date listed on our seat locators to:

Astros
Attn: Box Office
501 Crawford
Houston, TX 77002

I also included my contact info on the note just in case.


I assume they would also do this for printed paper tickets that have been folded up?

Having Francona above Hinch is literally one of the dumbest things ever.

All about expectations.

This was a regular season award if I'm not mistaken.

That it is... Francona's team was in game 7 of the effing World Series last year, while Hinch's team was at home on their couches for the postseason.

If I told you about the injuries we faced this season, how many people (even us diehards) would have said "101 wins"?

One 22 game stretch that ended up meaning nothing put Francona in front of Hinch.

At this point Ramirez may actually win the MVP.

This thread was freaking out about the Indians during the later parts of the regular season.

Its a regular season award. It doesn't matter what happened in the playoffs.

I would take the Indians in a rematch with NYY or vs Boston. I think us and maybe LA were the only teams better.

Until that 22 game run they were underachieving. So my opinion remains that that 22 game run got him 2nd place.

And Hinch only getting one first place is asinine. Again I get Molitor and he deserves it but Hinch just edging out Girardi to place is disrespectful.

You think Francona did a better job than Hinch throughout the entirety of the 162?

And FWIW if they put that much stock in a 22 game streak Altuve is in trouble.
