Under the Dome

dome

Houston’s Astrodome is 50 years old, and they’re throwing a party tomorrow, complete with entertainment and tours.  Nobody is quite sure what should be done with the old girl, but it would be a shame to see her go.

The first event in the dome took place 50 years ago today – a baseball game between the Houston Astros and the New York Yankees.  I was an announcer at KQUE-fm, and as a member of the media, I had a pair of complimentary tickets.  Since I had to work, Honey took her dad to the game, and it may have been the best present he ever received.  He talked about it for years.
