I remember when it was the eighth wonder of the world. Sigh.

One day at work I referred to artificial grass as "Astroturf." A guy in his thirties laughed.

"Astroturf?! It's called 'field turf' these days."

Man, that made me feel old.

I can remember a comment in the baseball book “ball four,” by Jim Bouton. It was a quote by one of the Astro ball players when someone asked him what he thought about playing in the brand new “8th wonder of the world.” The player said, “it’s not much, but we call it home.”
