    Yep, I was wrong on this one. I just assumed it was the parody Cal McNair Twitter acct that posted,  not the Reddit acct.

    If players, even the Florida ones, didn't have to pay tax wherever they're practicing / playing on any particular week, I'd suggest that every team set up a fake HQ in Florida.  

     

    That's a huge advantage.  Probably the only one that I think there should be some system in place to level out, but I've brainstormed dozens of plans, and none of them work.  Like maybe the league could "tax" the Florida teams, and that money would be used to pad the salaries of players signed by other teams, so as to make $100M worth $100M everywhere.  But I'm fairly certain that would be illegal, and even if it wasn't, it doesn't really work.

    Players are paid by game and taxed based on where that game is played.

    Agreed. I’d love to see sunrise sleeves with white ‘ASTROS’ outlined in orange as their blue alternate v3. 

    The blue Sunday alts have grown on me, especially after clinching the WS in them last weekend, but something inspired by the “white ASTROS on dark blue jerseys”, like the 1980’s spring training jerseys, has long been my preference.

    The hanging socks looked good on the jacket back in the day:

    I mean, they weren't rendered well there, but the idea is solid. Another step back the Red Sox should take, along with navy undershirts so the red stands out more.

  5. This is a freeze frame from a 5-part series I did a few years ago on original Astro (Colt 45 original, too) Bob Aspromonte. The series mainly focused on Aspro talking about baseball in the 60's, the Astrodome, etc.. and showing us tons of old pics he had collected over the years. This pic is him standing with Joe Dimaggio in an A's uniform. He explains that Joe temporarily coached the A's for 4 weeks during spring training one year.

  6. It may not be super unpopular, but I really like this look for the Astros.

    I'm ready for the new (hopefully) blue/orange set to arrive next season, but agree with you on this being a good look. I'll one-up you and say that I think this (below) is their best set and it's been nice seeing so much of this year with the new owner wanting to ditch the brick-top/silver pants look full-time on the road. What really makes this set work is the switch to the brick hats, vs the black hats which have been the primary road cap. The black hat really dulled down this set, IMO.
