Which Astros Team Blew World Series Hopes? | Author Samuel Barrett on Drama & Tragedy of '71!
Bleav Host Robert Land asks Author Samuel Barrett about his new book "Orange Crush: The Neglected 1971 Houston Astros". How did a team loaded with All-Star talent & greats like Joe Morgan, Larry Dierker, JR Richard, Bob Watson, Jimmy Wynn, Don Wilson, Ken Forsch & Cesar Cedeno not get to the playoffs? Barrett has stories about a racist Manager, a stabbed player, an historic Astros moment, DiMaggio & Musial's appearance in Houston, Robin Yount's brother's strange story & why the Astros traded a future MLB HOF. Plus, Robert looks at the Mauricio Dubon trade & sees value in betting on the Texans Sunday.
