THANK YOU! THANK YOU THANK YOU! Some of my best childhood memories were made here! Can you tell me if there is that video of the shadow man playing the trumpet ( think maybe it was Herb Alpert)? I am desperately trying to find it. It was my favorite scoreboard clip from the 70's.

Kinda scary

I can see how this was incredibly high-tech for the 60s. They need to put these classic videos on the board at Minute Maid.

This brings back great memories. If you ever come across a Houston Astro song they had please post it. All I remember is that it started as "We're the Houston Astros".

I only went to 1 astros game in the astrodome when i was very little, before they moved to minute maid park. Too bad i can't remember the dome.
-
But I do remember they shot fireworks off after every stros homerun but thats about it.

What sucks is as a little boy I went to the dome many times for oilers and astros games but I dont remember a thing. I was too little to remember anything about it but I just remember going to games there.

man...it sucks being born in 1992...i never got to experience this legendary scoreboard...i never got to see Nolan Ryan hit 100, i never got to see Billy Hatchers bomb in the NLCS...i never got to see Jose Cruz, Glenn Davis, Craig Reynolds, Mike Scott, JR Richard, Don Wilson, Dickie Thon, Terry Puhl...but at least i got to go to the Dome in its later years and watch Caminiti, Biggio, and my favorite ball player EVER: Jeff Bagwell...GO ASTROS!!!!
The man at the end of this video doing the dance with the rake is my dad Paul Keith. It was also his clapping hands you would see on the big board at different games to get the crowd cheering and clapping. I think he probably was in that other sequence with the 3 ball players as well.....The man who animated most of what was on the big screen was a close friend of my dads' Ed Henderson. Thanks for posting this!!!!
