I agree. If Jack Swigert or Jim Lovell had pattened that phrase, they'd be gazillionaires.
Pardon me for asking this but what is it with the bee sound effects. I'm not a baseball fan like I am for football, but the individual teams traditions fascinate me. Does anyone know a website that goes into team traditions and gameday occurrences, such as the bee sounds? Thanks in advance, all.

Astros fans: Please see NCC-1701's post #185.
I have a question about the train in Minute Maid Park. Is that a "full-size" train? Does it go back and forth on that wall, or is it stationary? I've never seen anything quite like that in a MLB ballpark...

The bee noise is a part of the Killer B concept. The Astros have at least 4 players whose name begins with a B: Biggio, Bagwell, Berkman and Backe. There used to be more. Anyway, since there's a number of "B's" the created this marketing concept of the Killer B's, along with the buzzing noise, the Bee Hive, etc.

As for the bees buzzing, the Astros have a history of several players with the last name starting with B knows as the Killer Bs.
Biggio-Bagwell-Berkman and other miscellaneous players.
