Drayton McLane is listening to an offer to buy the Astro’s according to this piece by Brian McTaggert. It doesn’t sound like he is looking to sell, only that he is listening to an offer from someone who approached him.  We will see.

Today’s prize though has to be close to McLane’s heart. It is a Limited Edition Bronze statue of Minute Maid Park created in celebration of of the 10 year anniversary of the Astro’s home. McLane is credited with moving the team from the Astrodome. Pretty cool if you are a baseball collector.

Today’s Question:  In 2005, the Astros broke their own record for the longest game in playoff history, which they had previously held since 1986.  Can you name both of their opponents in those games?
