Who caught the first pitch in the Houston Astrodome? He is our guest this week and his name is Ron Brand. The infamous game was on April 9, 1965, and was an exhibition against the New York Yankees. Ron started out with the Pirates before Houston selected him in the Rule 5 draft. He also played for the Montreal Expos who acquired him in the expansion draft. We venture Back When There Was Baseball as Ron discusses playing with Willie Stargell, playing in the Houston Astrodome and also playing in Jarry Park with the Expos.
