If you have listened to Talking Stros, you know that my favorite Astros player is George Springer. It’s not a slight against Jose Altuve and Carlos Correa, but Springer was the ray of light during the process. I remember my season ticket rep calling me to ask if I would be interested in getting season tickets. My response was, we’ll talk when Springer gets up.
For me, Springer was like Hunter Pence coming up with the Astros. He was the next big thing, and fans checked the box scores. The idea of what Springer could do with his speed and power combination would make any fan drool with excitement.
