Houston Baseball Dinner
Last night my husband and I attended the Houston Baseball Dinner at the Hilton Americas, and I was amused at whose table was next to ours -- the Houston Chronicle's. My best friend wasn't there, but David Barron was, Richard Justice was at a front-row table, and Bad Sports' favorite MLB beat reporter Jesus Ortiz was sitting at the presenters' table.
Chron Editor Emeritus Jack Loftis gave a long speech introduction as he presented an award, and in it he credited the Chron's editorial board with helping the baseball stadium referendum eke out a victory in 1989 by 16,000 votes. Maybe the Chron's Glenn Davis can convince the current ed board to cheerlead for a downtown soccer stadium!
Anyway, it was a fine event. The Hilton Americas is a lovely hotel, and the Lanier Grand Ballroom was very attractive. The city of Houston built a very nice hotel!
