Rain or Shine:
How Houston Developed Space City Baseball

January 12-April 4, 2010

“The Harris County Domed Stadium will be as outstanding a sports arena as was the Colosseum in Rome during it day.”- R.E. “Bob” Smith, Chairman of the Board of the Houston Sports Association.

The Heritage Society is teaming up with the Houston Astros and the Texas Baseball Hall of Fame to celebrate the organizations that made Space City baseball what it is today—The Buffs, Colt .45's, and Astros!

See the evolution of uniforms, equipment, and ballparks throughout the decades, while learning who the key players were that brought major league baseball to Houston. Relive the excitement and anticipation of watching the construction of the world’s first domed sporting stadium.

This unbelievable collection of Houston baseball memorabilia is sure to be a homerun!

The Heritage Society is funded in part by a grant from the City of Houston through Houston Arts Alliance.
