The Astros played their last game in the Astrodome during the 1999 MLB playoffs.  As usual they lost to the Atlanta Braves in the first round ending their season and closing out their 35 year run in the Eighth Wonder of the World on a down but not unexpected note.  The Braves were up 7-0 on a good performance by John Smoltz, but late in the game the Astros scored 5 with Ken Caminiti hitting a 3 run shot in the 8th.  There was hope going into the 9th with the Astros down 7-5.  When Jeff Bagwell came up against John Rocker in the bottom of the 9^th with a runner on second, my friend turned to me and said, “This is kind of a career defining moment for him.”  And he promptly struck out and his career was defined.  Caminiti at least hit one to the warning track in left to end the game.  I suppose the ‘Roids were fading by the 9^th.
