We're always in the mood for a little Astros nostalgia, and here's some courtesy of a vintage TV commercial from Channel 20 — remember when it was called Channel 20? We date this ad to 1985, when Reds player-manager Pete Rose was "inches away" from breaking Ty Cobb's hitting record (which he did on Sept. 11, 1985). Just thinking about those days — the bad hair, the rainbow uniforms, the Home Run Spectacular — kinda makes us hungry for a Dome Dog.
