My favorite Astro will always be Nolan.  I can’t help it.  As a kid pitcher and a pitcher all through HS I idolized him. Going to the Dome as a kid and getting there early just to stand right beside him while he was popping Ashby’s mit warming up was pure bliss.  That grunt and pop from the mit in the game was mesmerizing as a kid.  

I was sitting at a red light as a 20 year old in 91 on Nasa Rd 1 when I heard em say on the radio he just threw his 7th no hitter, man I had tears rolling down my cheeks.  

I love all our greats but Nolan holds a special place in my heart.

JR Richard was the first Astro I "loved" as a fan.  I cried like a bitch when I heard  he had his stroke.

 

I admire the hell outta Tuve for his energy and giving no fucks about what he shouldn't be able to do.  George is my favorite current Astro though, for his heart and the way he gets the whole team going with his play.
