Lifelong Astros fan -- started with them in '62 when I was 7 and they were 0.
But, fair warning, I'm only giving them 50 years: half a century. Then, so as not to follow the example of the ridiculous Cubs fans, if they haven't won a World Series, I'm switching primary loyalties. Enough's enough. Already following the Rockies, since (a) we plan to retire in Colo. in a few years, (b) some of our favorite ex-Astros play there, and (c) unlike the 'Stros, theyhave a farm system.
