1/3/1962, Astrodome groundbreaking. If you can’t be bothered to bring a revolver, a least wear a damn hat!

the astros original name was the colt 45s
“Texans and guns go together like Presidents and motorcades.”
What are they shooting down there in the grass? Mice? Lizards?
Breaking Ground obviously. With bullets you dolt.
They broke grounds with guns? That’s some Homer Simpson level behavior.
they were originally called the colt 45’s
They look like they’re going to start this whole project by shooting a hole in the ground. If this isn’t the most Texas thing ever, I don’t know what is!
The trigger discipline is a little sketchy.
Tbe team was called the “Colt 45’s” at the time of this photo. It was a small step up from Redskins and Indians.
Yeehaw, shoot them dirts!
“I didn’t get a ‘harumph’ out of that guy!
And where’s his gun?”
ahhhh look at all those cunts that shifted jobs overseas to save a buck and hired illegal immigrants for pennies on the dollar. You’re looking at a portion of those responsible for the world we currently live in. Fuck. Them.
Is the guy in the middle holding two?!? One in each hand! Twice as fun!
The lack of trigger discipline is actually painful to see, especially considering most (if not all) of those revolvers are SA/DA.
For some reason at first glance I read it as “DOOMED”
Texas, One guy with a shovel , 13 guys with guns saying dig, boy! Id bet.
Maybe the invitation didn’t say “BYOG”.
Think any of those guys are alive still?
Colt 45s is a stupid fucking name for a team. It would be a dumb name for a team of competitive shooters who specialize in .45’s so it sure as fuck is for a baseball team.
I do support breaking ground with guns tho. That’s just plain fun.
How else could they possibly keep the ants at bay
Can we give Texas back to Mexico?
Nowadays this pic would definitely put sand up in people’s panties . . . . .
Kennedy was never making it out of that shit box alive.
Not a lot of trigger discipline but at least they aren’t pointing them at themselves or others.
is that young john travolta second from the left?
If you are going to steal from the Traces of Texas twitter account, at least give him credit.
Only Texans would think they needed to bring a gun.
Why didn’t they let the other no hat gun guy kneel?
Hard to believe that Texas was a blue state at this time. LBJ was the VP.
Texans are real dumb
Terrible trigger discipline by these guys
Or bring two revolvers and no hat.
And not an ear plug amongst them.
“Hey Joe, remember when we broke ground on that stadium by shooting up the dirt?”
“NO, I DID NOT ROPE DOWN A STALLION AND SHOOT IT IN THE DIRT!”
“Yeah, good times, good times.”
Texans gonna Texas
Did they break ground by shooting the dirt?
Having lived near that county, this is very fitting historically.
That one guy on the far left is the alpha because he has both.
I used to walk past this picture every day in the press booth, for a while they had a case with one of the pistols in it next to the pic…..it was a different way of doing things back then.
He’s really just dozens of pistols in a trench coat
The American Dream in one picture
Don’t bring a shovel to a gunfight.
out of frame, the guy in the ground about to get a bullet shower for overcharging on the materials
Houston, we have a crime problem
One shot = fastball , 2 shots curve, 3 shots is Altuve getting a running head start to jump on the bench. Fuck the 45.s’ and the Astros
Be as snide and dismissive as you please, you leftist snowflakes! These rock ribbed Texans had the decorum and savoir-faire to leave their sheets at home!.. or at the club house… or nearly folded & at the ready in their trunks!
