Good morning. In less than an hour, fans from here will join others from around the world. And you will be launching the largest fanatic battle in this history of mankind.
Mankind -- that word should have new meaning for all of us today.
We can't be consumed by our petty differences anymore.
We will be united in our common interests.
Perhaps its fate that today is the 11th of October; and you will once again be fighting for the life of our team, not by getting a new team, as was the case in 1960, when Judge Roy Hofheinz, promised National League officials the team would receive a Domed stadium. Not from oppression, or persecution -- but from playoff elimination
We're fighting for our right to live, to exist.
And should we win the day, the 11th of October will no longer be known as the birth of our Houston Astros, but as the day when the world declared in one voice:
"We will not go quietly into the night.
We will not vanish without a fight.
We're going to live on.
We're going to survive."
Today, we celebrate our OUR NLDS VICTORY!
