Believer in myself, US Navy veteran, lifelong #Astros fan, native Houstonian, @damnorangecat is my better half. Was in attendance for Stros 1st WS championship.
The weight of the long wait was evident for Billy Wagner when he finally got the call from the Baseball Hall of Fame.
“Dreams do come true,” he said.

We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of former Dodgers great Fernando Valenzuela.
“Fernandomania” swept through baseball in 1981 when the 20-year old rookie sensation began the season 8-0 with a 0.50 ERA. The lefthander capped off his incredible year by winning both the NL Rookie of the Year and Cy Young Awards while helping lead Los Angeles to a World Series title.
Valenzuela pitched 17 Major League seasons, was a 6-time All-Star, and has the most wins (173) and strikeouts (2,074) of any Mexican-born pitcher.
He spent the last 22 years as a Spanish language broadcaster for the Dodgers, who retired his No. 34 in 2023.
He was 63.
This is Layla. After six years being the bat dog for the Clearwater Threshers, she's officially retiring. At Friday night's game, the 13-year-old moseyed out to home plate to pick up her final bat. 14/10 happy retirement, Layla
Dear @astros@Mariners I have Yordan Alvarez Home Run Ball. It’s worth more to him than me being as he hit for the cycle. Please find a way for me to get it to him.
