Description

Episode 8: Long time broadcasters Bill Brown and Steve Sparks team up on this episode to pay homage to one of the founding fathers of the Houston Astros. Brown talks to Dene Hofheinz Anton, Roy's daughter, who describes her father as a visionary who helped bring Major League Baseball to the city of Houston. Grandson Dinn Mann fondly recalls growing up in the 8th Wonder of the World and how his grandfather's influences still affect the fans' experience of attending games today. Sparky and Brownie share their thoughts and evoke stories of how Hofheinz made his mark in Houston and beyond. Share your thoughts and send questions to radio@astros.com or #AstrosRadio
