My earliest sports memories are of going with my dad and my little brother to see the Houston Colt 45s play baseball in '62 and '63. And I do remember Hal Woodeshick, probably saw him pitch, although that's a detail I don't recall.

He also pitched for the Astros.

I believe he was the Cardinals' closer on the '67 title team.

Dealt from Houston to St. Louis in part for Mike Cuellar, of all people.
