As I have mentioned in a previous post (complete with Bad News Bears video), I am Quixotically attempting to get the sweet softball swing pictured above into the Astros annual Media Softball game this fall. For the record, as a minor league "Call-up", I'd be happy just to sit on the bench during the contest.
My attempt to overcome a lack of media credentials ran into another dead end yesterday, when I found out that the local Halloween apparel shop is all out of Zach Levine costumes. I didn't inquire as to how many they normally have in stock.
Moving on from this setback, I call on Farmstros readers for help again. If Farmstros helps you follow the Astros and increases your interest in/loyalty to the Houston organization, please take a few moments to let the club, specifically the Media Relations department, know on my behalf.
You can contact the club at 713-259-8000 (main number)
Ask for the Media Relations Department
For your convenience, here is a sample script for your phone call:
"This is ====== from Senegal in Africa. I have been a fan of the Astros for ---- years. It has been exciting to follow the transition of the organization, especially during the 2010 season. One great source of hope for me as an Astros fan is the steady growth of the farm system overseen by Mr. Wade, Mr. Bennett, Mr. Nelson and of course, Mr. Heck. I especially appreciate the blog Farmstros, which is an excellent source of information about the Astros of the Future created by Mike Tauser. Farmstros provides me, as an Astros' fan, with helpful information throughout the season and in the off-season. While Tauser is not a credentialed media member, for the service he provides to Astros fans everywhere, he definitely merits consideration for inclusion in the Astros media softball game."
Once again, I appreciate your readership and your assistance on this matter.
Thanks for following the Astros of the Future with us
