I found some old programs from Astros games my father and grandparents went to at the Astrodome. This one has a funny cover and some pretty good ads and articles too. A different time…

I have 3-4 more of these from 66-68 if anyone is interested, I can post pictures of the covers too.
That’s actually really cool to see.
That baby bottle caught me off guard… Also I found out what L&M stands for today.
Thanks for posting. This is fun to read. As a lady fan, I smiled at the section devoted to lady fans!
Why…uhhh…is the cub being fed LSD?
TIL that one nickname for the Astrodome was Pleasure-Dome.
Looks like 5/4 1966. The only home Wednesday game against the Cubs that year.
Astros won 4-0
Joe Morgan and Jimmy Wynn were in the lineup that day, but Houston Nicholson had the biggest hit with a 3 run home run.
Robin Robert’s pitched a 9 inning CGSO with 7 Hits, 2 walks and 9 Ks for the Astros.

Nothing like a 6:30 pm cup of coffee!
