A hallmark of the Tim Kelly offense!That to me reeks of 'scheme,' vs 'talent.' Either they were confused on the assignment or are actually instructed to focus on the second level defense. But there's no attempt by either to 'course correct.'

Have a serious collection of Nolan Ryan baseball cards. 86 Astros were great- can still name the lineup nearly 40 years later! Allen Ashby anyone? Billy Doran, Kevin Bass, Mike Scott, Glenn Davis, Billy Hatcher…. Etc. Mets took us down and the Buckner boot… Went through my 60,000 cards recently for my Uncle’s grandchildren- Orioles/Dodgers. Pulled 4 for each- Kirk Gibson for the homer year, and Cal Ripken oldies. Nice to relive the thing i teally cared about as a high school student.Can confirm. I'm still a die hard Astros and Rockets fan, so I'm in MANY Houston area sports social media sites, and they are happier today then I think they'd be if they just won the Superb Owl. I just started drinking so I feel a few online tiffs might be inevitable this evening.

That Billy Hatcher foul homer… my sands… what a game that was!I loved that 86 team, with Kevin Bass at the time being my all-time favorite Astro. And I remember being convinced (without having seen the movie because I was too young) that the movie Bull Durham had to have been based on Bill Doran, because the names were just too d@mn similar. I remember playing the Mets in 86 and seeing my mother, who I never knew to be a sports fan, wishing a pox upon Daryl Strawberry so that our Astros could advance. I started collecting baseball cards in 1987, and the 87 Topps cards are still to this day my absolute favorite card design. But I stopped after the one season when I discovered A) football cards and 2) comic books. My second all-time favorite card design is the 1993 Fleer football cards. I think they're beautiful just looking at them today.
Just 50 and still a man! That was when baseball was baseball! Tried to walk on VT team. 17 pitches… threw mid 80s. I knew immediately x-no, but had the best curveball there. Never picked a baseball after.grandpa talk going on now
i was born in 86 you guys are reminiscing like it was "the good ole days" rofl
Sold a bunch, bought a bunch. Still have a bunch. Probably around 5K, most of which are “named” guys, not many commons left.Have a serious collection of Nolan Ryan baseball cards. 86 Astros were great- can still name the lineup nearly 40 years later!

I played for 10 years but knew I was done at 15. Girls and money (a job) took over.Just 50 and still a man! That was when baseball was baseball! Tried to walk on VT team. 17 pitches… threw mid 80s. I knew immediately x-no, but had the best curveball there. Never picked a baseball after.
If ya like a particular card, just askThat wooden panel around the outside is awesome.
Only recently added comic books to my collection. Had a small collection that I’ve kept but really recently bought a lot.
Greatest animated movie EVER!!Oh man. Well, let's see... ET in 82, Jedi in 83, Ghostbusters in 84, Rocky 4 in 85, Transformers The Movie in 86... Yeah, those WERE the good ole days!
I look for graded cards cheap now. Maybe some newer football cards.If ya like a particular card, just ask
Its funny, my uncle and i swing into an auto feed + net… his kids love it. It hurts me, but not so much anymore. They gonna be super excited for these cards, which many are over 40 years. Good chit all around!I played for 10 years but knew I was done at 15. Girls and money (a job) took over.
Didn’t want to put in the extra work of off-season, only wanted to play the game, loved even practicing.
I pitched a few games with a specialty I call the “meatball”. I was very accurate but had very little mustard and never mastered any other pitch but fastball and it wasn’t fast.
I’d probably be ideal for hitting practice or would have been.
Played every position at least 1 full season.

That soundtrack was awesome too.
It’s an expensive hobby to go backwards into.I started buying Transformers and GIJoe in the early 80s b/c A) I played with the toys and 2) because I had an older brother who started before me, and that eventually years later led to The Incredible Hulk, then Spider-man, then essentially everything else. Collected throughout the 90s and into the Oughts, until I bought my first house and quit cold-turkey. And never missed it oddly.

I try to find a couple that have specific milestones like first appearance Rogue and Gambit (my favorites) but I found a cool death of Red Skull (by Magneto) to be a cool story, and I have every Foolkiller comic, knock off Punisher.
