Thanks for the kind words, everybody. It's a privilege to be able to spend some time here and I'm delighted to be able to share some of what I see.
Sphinx, no, unlike, say, Bagwell who is in uniform and is serving in an official role Clemens was there as a parent. By the way, here's something else about the game against Detroit the other day. Road games will include a couple of the big league position players, almost never a big name veteran but rather someone like Bourn or Keppinger, the veteran non-roster guys like Shelton and Cory Sullivan as well as all the guys caught in between like Maysonet and Yordany. And they'll bring some of the fast-track guys from the lower levels like TJ Steele (who can really hit) or Drew Locke. The other day in Lakeland I noticed Koby on the bench. I found that interesting. He didn't play but he was there, and as I've said they don't simply load everyone with Astros on their shirt onto a bus.
