Astros Opening Night balls
Does anyone have a contact for the Astros? I'm wanting to pick up a game used ball from the Opening Night game against the Rangers. Or maybe someone was even there and caught one?? Long shot I know but I really would like to locate one or two of these. I will keep an eye out on their auctions but wanted to be proactive in the meantime! Cheers ~Joe

Re: Astros Opening Night balls
I was there and the line was really long to try and get one. They usually only get around 8-12 per game so I am sure they were all gone. I wanted to get one too but I wasn't waiting in the long line that started forming in the 2nd inning! They don't get them until around the 5th or 6th.
I was lucky enough to get a BP HR ball from Berkman though. Last year I got a BP HR ball from Hamilton. I just wish I could have caught one from the Astros haha.

I was able to score one through a buddy that was at the game. They waited in line for 7 innings. There were only 6 that were authenticated from the game. Very historic game for the Astros! First AL game and 4,000th win in franchise history.
