Sorry, i can't resist the urge to use alliteration (technically alliteration is the repetitive use of consonant sounds...i digress). Anyway, tonight was 'ADCO' day at the ballpark. It so happens that it was also NASA night at Minute Maid. The crew of STS-120/10A (the mission after mine) threw out the first pitch.
Today, Craig Biggio announced his retirement following this season. I think we all knew that it was coming. He's headed for the Hall of Fame so there isn't much use in using up the body to achieve something that is already inevitable.
The crowd gave a standing ovation to Biggio as he stepped to the plate for the first at bat. And to treat the crowd, Biggio hit a grand slam to put the Astros in the lead for the rest of the game. Astros beat the Dodgers, 7-4.
There were lots of cameras flashing around, so i'm sure you'll see some pictures from the night on some of the other ADCO blogs.
It was a pretty entertaining night...and with that i'm calling it a night...
