I am thinking about getting a set of these covers framed too.

Kids: "Let's turn the playroom into an Astros room!"
Me: "Oh...alright."
So I dug out some old stuff and added some new.

I need a bigger shelf.

Obligatory Kyle Field pano.

I wonder if calling in would do anything. Considering the amount of money that was spent on those tickets, it's not like it's an unreasonable request to get an actual ticket opposed to the tiny print out they hand you at the gate

Supposably according to the letter I received Major League Baseball only issues a certain amount of the commemorative tickets and they ran out. It's so much b******* just print more and give it to your fans who spent hundreds and thousands of f****** dollars to come see the World Series do the right thing this is bush-league. And I just found out they're charging $35 to come take a picture with the trophy next week at the Ballpark when other franchises like the Cubs and the Giants did it for free. They claim the money is going to charity but who gives a s*** $35 to take a picture with the trophy, get the f*** out of here. And yes I'm in a bad mood today

Saw that as well. Kinda figured the $35 was to try and keep the line somewhat manageable.

Just display for a month straight and it shouldn't be an issue

It's not like printing tickets is a new thing. They've been printing big game tickets on card stock for years. It's ****ing ridiculous now that they act like it's a major inconvenience to give people a copy of a ticket that they spent hundreds or thousands of dollars on

I ordered "replica" tickets from the website posted several pages back. I believe it was "That's My Ticket". They're supposed to come in the first or second week of January. I had to pay for them, but if they look like the real thing, I don't mind...just add it to the running total of WS merchandise.

Edit: Also, for an additional $15 you can customize the tickets with your actual section, row, and seat numbers.

Please provide link if possible. That's great to hear, but it should still have been free from Astros. Pretty ****ty in my eyes. Especially for those fans who spent a good amount of money on the 100+ loss seasons

I bought two and they sent 1. Also underwhelmed by the quality.

They aren't even as cool as the regular tickets were years ago. Glad i was lucky to get o e but they should do better.

posted for those that haven't seen the tickets

Its like looking for Waldo

Someone from the Chronicle will "call me back in the next few days". Still in Pre-Shipment. Ordered this damn thing on Nov 2nd.

The Steve Sparks call of Yuli's homer off Kershaw in Game 5 is the best

I pick up on something different every time I re-watch these videos. My latest favorite discovery is when the camera pans to Hinch after McCann's homer. That grin is worth a million bucks

Thinking of doing another run of plaques. Easier to to do in bunches. PM me if anyone wants one.

Can you post the link showing the pics with the options?

Dick's sporting goods has some amazing deals on polos and jackets ... just $10. Just type in Astros in the Dick's search bar.
