Astros' press box named in memory of Milo Hamilton

Monday marked the Houston Astros' Home Opener. Monday's event didn't start with the street festival or the first pitch, but with a quiet ceremony in the Minute Maid Park press box.

The Astros named the press box in honor of Hall of Fame broadcaster Milo Hamilton. On hand for the event was Astros President of Business Operations Reid Ryan, Astros owner and chairman Jim Crane, general manager Jeff Luhnow, the current Astros broadcast teams, and Milo's son Mark Hamilton.

Hamilton spent 60 seasons broadcasting Major League Baseball. He joined the Astros in 1985, and retired following the 2012 season.
