Foamers! From an earlier thread!

[Gulf Coast Blue]

I was sure that Deputy UIC or Mike from Katy would remember "Foamers" at the Astrodome........

Back in the day at the dome......if an Astro player hit a homerun during an "Odd" minute......free beer for the rest of the night (through the 7th inning).

There was a light next to the scoreboard on each foul line that lit up orange during every odd minute so you knew when a "Foamer" was possible.

Granted....the dome was huge....and HRs were unlikely at most times.....but if you were ever at the dome when it happened, it was a site to behold.....

This was back in the mid/late 70's. I think I was there twice when it happened.

Fun days.
