    51 years ago today, both Jose Cruz and Enos Cabell played their first game for the Astros.

    And they are still (back) with the organization today !!

    FTR:

    Cabell lead off playing LF and went 2 for 5 with a SB.

    Cruz went 3 for 4 with a SB and the teams 1st HR of the season, a 3 run shot off Phil Niekro as the RF.

    Dierker outdueled Niekro for a 6-2 win over the Braves.

    I wrote a short blog for Breathing Orange Fire.

    Somebody just pointed out to me that it was also the first day of the tequila sunrise uniforms.
