Call this retroactive fury, if you will, but my personal world was in a bit of turmoil back on Monday, July 22, so I missed the news that the Astros that evening, while crushing the Athletics 11-1 at Houston’s Minute Maid Park, tweaked their uniform a little bit.
They wore an alternate hat.
The logo that generally dons the front of the cap — the classic “H” superimposed on an orange star — was shifted to the right side. On the front was the Apollo 11 logo, dominated by an eagle. It was a nice gesture, commemorating the 50th anniversary of the moon landing.
