The Houston Astros’ World Series championship last year was, of course, a great accomplishment on the field. But, in the aftermath of Harvey, it was much more than that for the Bayou City.
Houston Chronicle columnist Joe Holley — who you hear once a month on Houston Matters’ The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly – has written a new book examining the impact the Astros’ first championship has had on Houston. It’s called Hurricane Season: The Unforgettable Story of the 2017 Houston Astros, and the Resilience of A City.
In the audio above, Houston Matters producer Michael Hagerty talks with Holley about this seminal moment in sports – and Houston – history.
Holley will sign copies of Hurricane Season at a Brazos Bookstore event tonight (May 1) at 7.
