Houston Astros Hall of Fame broadcaster Milo Hamilton survived a heart attack scare yesterday and is doing OK.

Hamilton, who was having Sunday brunch with his son Mark at the Four Seasons, noticed his father wasn't OK. I could tell something wasn't right," Mark Hamilton said. "I said, 'Are you OK?' He said, 'No,' and pointed to his heart. He wanted me to take him home and I said, 'That's not an option.' I ran every stop light, called [The] Methodist [Hospital] and said, 'We're coming.'"

Doctors preformed an angioplasty after discovering that one of Hamilton's arteries had 100-percent blockage. Mark Hamilton was in town to watch over his dad over the next few days because he was scheduled for hip surgery today. "Normally on Sunday if I'm not here, he's just sitting alone in his recliner at home," Mark Hamilton said. "And I can't imagine what would have happened."
