Caravan Delivers Astros to Fans

20070118_astro_van.jpgThe Houston Astros are cranking up their public relations machine as part of Major League Baseball's annual Caravan program. Members of the Astros organization, i.e. players (Ausmus, Bagwell & Roy O.), coaches and staff (Milo Hamilton), will be visiting Houston's surrounding areas and parts of Central Texas over the next two weeks. They even squeezed in a casino trip to Lake Charles and a jaunt down south to Monterrey Mexico.
