The Story

Season 17 at Whataburger Field

Benefitting The Miracle League, we had a pre-tourney redfish tournament that would have been great if we caught any redfish. Nolan Ryan didn't post, saying he's at organizational meetings in Houston, so we send a large pizza with his uniform number 34 written in anchovies to the Astros' ballpark and his attention. The pizza never made it past security.
