    I've talked about this intro for years, but In my opinion, this is the best Astros bumper commercial.

    The beat and style has late-70's/early-80's written all over it.

    Good times! That would play just before Milo would open with the dimensions of the field, names of the umpire crew, and lineups. Late 80s.

    Nope. Mid-80's. When we got Art Howe the song was "Raise the Roof right off the Dome."

    I must have missed that by a couple years, but that is amazingly fun. Wonderfully goofy 80s vibe, but also completely self-aware of it. We need more stuff like this.

    85-88, IIRC. So you're both right.

    I remember a "Young Guns of the West" promo poster the Astros had. I think it was Biggio, Bagwell, and some other youngish dude (Gonzo? Finley? Cammy?), ca. 1992, but I'm not sure. I don't think it was mid-80s with Doran and others. Anyway, there were three Astros in rainbow unis, and the dude in the middle had this ginormous glove. I've searched for this image a million times on the internets.
