I will always remember how he would always do his darndest to help people feel comfortable at an event. Godspeed to the immediate circle of the Durrett family and fraternal order of media brethren. Indeed he will be missed at Rangers, Stars, and sporting events.
After 70 games in 2013 the Astros were a miserable 26-44. Coming into play on Flag Day a respectable 32-28 despite eight blown leads by the bullpen. Last years 32nd win wasn't achieved until July 6th (A game I attended at Globe Life Park). Win #33 didn't happen until July 12th as we headed for the All-Star break.
A reminder that one day after USA and Ghana play their opening match June 16th at 5 pm (all pre-playoff World Cup games will be played at 11am, 2pm, or 5pm) FCDallas will participate in a US World Cup match at Toyota Stadium on June 17th with the San Antonio Scorpions. Start time will be 8pm if you want to get some soccer watching in before the World Cup goes full board.
The last time a ballplayer did what Mr. Chisenhall did was June 18th 1975 when Fred Lynn had a three homer and ten rbi night at Detroit. Gil Hodges turned the trick as a Brooklyn Dodger August 31st 1950, and also Walker Cooper for the Cincinnati Reds July 6th 1949.
With 69 homers on the season Houston enjoys a record of 23-14 when homering in a game. When Houston has a multi-homer game the Astros rank second in the American League with 21.
