Got to see Nolan Ryan pitch against the Cardinals there. Saw Frank Sinatra, Nancy Sinatra and Trini Lopez play there at a HHH campaign stop.

The Astrodome

I had a lot of fun there, and got away with a lot.

Yep, Nolan Ryan was at his peak of physical + maturity during his Astros tenure. Amazing! I still remember the POW of his fast ball hitting the catchers mitt. High 90’s to a bit more on the fastball, about 94 on the change up and his curve ball strike out pitch in the mid-90s. I think batters had to start their swing about the time he was getting ready to release. LOL! When Ryan was on he dominated.
