Judge Roy Hofheinz was the leader of a group that brought an expansion team to Houston.
Dan Smith was drafted by Minnesota in the twenty-second round in 1987, but did not sign.
Hopefully everyone is enjoying the weather on a nice, green spring day.
I was an early fan of the 1984 cult classic Streets of Fire with music by Jim Steinman, Ry Cooder, Bob Seger, Tom Petty, and Stevie Nicks. Also this catchy tune that Dan Hartman wrote for Hall & Oates but ended up recording himself. I don't care for the Hall & Oates update they did in the aughts, but I found this version from the ultimate Australian cover band that I kind of like.
