Bidge and Bags No. 8 on list of Best Statues
This coming on the heels of this story ranking the Astros nickname as one of the 10 best. Hey, we may not have been to the playoffs since 2005, but our ballpark looks good and our nickname is cool.

I’m seeing 9 on that list you linked for the statues, was it updated?
For the nicknames it seems like a back handed comment, which I find annoying since the Astros get enough crap as is. Even when they get ranked high on something a writer still feels the need to dis the Stros. =(
I know I’m being a bit pessimistic this morning, and nit picky (6 hours of sleep does that to you).

i am definitely biased in my opinion, but i think the uniqueness of it should make it rank higher than 9. most of the statues are just players in their batting stances or memorable poses. Ours is a scene and tells a unique story.
i would have thought top 5 would have been appropriate. however, nobody outside of Houston even recognizes that we have professional sports teams half the time, so number 9 it is.
