Your Astros heart will grow

I love this team, after reading 100 Things, my love grew. I wish i could have lived through the 80 and 86 seasons.
Brian perfectly captures the love, joy, and heartbreak of the franchise.
Here's to the 2017 team, hopefully they add new chapters to a great book.

A must read for all Astros fans. It paints a good picture of many moments in Houston Astros history. Brian Mctaggart is an excellent baseball writer capturing all the high and low points of Astros history.

[Karen Harrell · Rating 3 out of 5]

Lots of good information especially for a “newbie” fan. I would have preferred that the info was listed in time order since I h@d trouble keeping the timeframe straight.

Very Informative Read

The book was very enjoyable and I learned a lot about Astros' history. The author was uniquely situated to tells this history as a long time reporter of the Astros. My only complaint is that it is arranged from most important moments to least, so it is anticlimactic. It would be better, in my opinion, if the order of the chapters was reversed.
