I grew up a fan of Le Grand Orange because, even though I never saw him play as an Astro, he started his career and first made the All Star team as a Colt 45/Astro.
Great crossover story. Rusty’s story needs to be told as well. Very intelligent and intellectual. I believe he was Gay. Loved New York’s cultural life. Became a restauranteur and hit for power. 😳
Thanks for sharing the Say Hey song. That was wonderful.
Sure thing! Willie + The Treniers = pure gold!
This is amazing. One of the coolest baseball-music crossovers ever.
Hard to disagree!

Alas, the Expos are no more, but their American League counterparts, the Toronto Blue Jays, are still around...
Rest in peace, Mr. Mays.
Nice piece of baseball history. I knew of Rusty from being a Mets fan. Good writing and research and a nice way of telling history
Thanks, Jeff!
Great story and it’s good to see Hardy’s smile!
