HOUSTON -- Thirty years after one of the best seasons in club history, the Astros honored their 1986 team by donning throwback uniforms and having Astros legend Mike Scott throw out the ceremonial first pitch before Saturday's game against the Rangers at Minute Maid Park.
"It brings back great memories," Scott said. "It's almost better to not come back as often. Some of it makes it more special when you do come back."
In addition to the throwback uniforms and Scott's first pitch, 10,000 fans were given 1986 Mike Scott replica rainbow jerseys before the game, when Scott, Glenn Davis, Phil Garner and other Astros legends were available for autographs.
