I hate this day, I’m still so sad. I will *NEVER* for get how this day shaped our lives.

Do you happen to have any pictures in the vault of the pre-game flag ceremony from the first home game after 9/11, against the Cubs? I was in it, and I’ve never seen a picture since that night. Thanks!
Speaking of history and looking back into time….With their next lose this year’s Houston Astros team will be on the record books as the worst in the 50 year history. Only a few teams in MLB have avoided 100 loses in a year throughout their history and this year the Astros will fall into that category.
Colin…I don’t have any pictures of that Cubs game. Somewhere the Astros probably have it archived but I don’t have anything from my personal collection.
