Help with some Astros photos
I know these are all early Astros related. I just don't know what they are. I'm clueless on photos and the such. I am working on a a Colt .45 and early Astros post and any help with these would be Neato.
The first two are pictures of negatives that I have. They were in the box with the negs. The wax paper around the negatives on the first photo says Gentile and (?) the second name is chicken scratch. The second photo's negatives say 1965 Finale-Ball Players Stands-Gift. The 8x10's all have the same markings on the back, except for the color shoot of the the Dome and the Paul Richards. And what is the Richards photo? Repop? Thanks in advance.

I'm fairly sure the color snapshot at the bottom right has Jim Wynn on the scoreboard (same image from first pic) - it's the scoreboard after he hit a home run. I'm just a little confused because of the Texaco advertising, since all the games I went to in the late 1960's had a Gulf sign instead - I have a snapshot of a similar Wynn home run photo with the Gulf signs. Maybe this one is pre-1968? Hub Kittle is in one of the pics, so that and the uniforms should help you date those.

10th Anniversary photo
I recognize a few guys in the 10th anniversary photo.
Far left: Hal Woodeschick 2nd from Left: Dave Giusti 3rd from left: Don Larsen 5th from left: Mantle 6th from left: Ken Johnson I'm sure someone will chime in with the other two guys, who both look familiar. |

Mantle was there because the first game was Yankees/Astros, and he hit the first homerun. At the end of the 10th anniversary photo in uniform is Dick Farrell, the starting pitcher in that game, and the pitcher Mantle hit the homer off .
