Throwback to our childhood

I saw in the agate type that the Astros had named Enos Cabell to some position in their minor leagues.

Flashback to the 1970s. Enos Cabell, one of many Astros (along with Jose Cruz, Joe Niekro, Denny Walling, Art Howe, Cesar Cedeno, Jimmy Sexson, Alber Pujols and Joe Sambito) that couldn't figure out how to finish near .500 yet continually kicked the crud out of the Cubs.

Hey, don't forget Terry Puhl!

Must have been those rainbow sherbert colored uniforms...

Also just noticed this:

See! I knew Pujols is older than the Cardinals are letting on!

Actually, I assume you're refering to that stud catcher Luis Pujols. Of course, my favorite Astro catcher of the period was Andy Ashby. He wasn't that good, but I always had great success with his Strat-O-Matic card.
