I was born and raised in Houston, and have been a die-hard Astros fan (as well as Rockets and Texans fan) since I was born. I grew up watching the likes of Bagwell, Biggio, Berkman, and Oswalt, and my favorite Astros player of all-time is Hunter Pence. The last few years have been tough as a fan, but I have supported every move of GM Jeff Luhnow. I currently attend Yeshiva University in NYC, but over the summers I always attend as many Astros games as possible including batting practice in the Crawford Boxes. I have been the "Fan of the Game" once, and plan on one day winning the Goya Baseball Shuffle! Follow me @YoniPollak so we can chat about our Astros (and more)!
