Football Hall of Famer Terrell Owens throws out first pitch, talks about his Astros connection
earlier this month at Minute Maid Park. He also participated in Jackson's charity golf tournament in West Palm Beach before spring training.
"It’s always good to be around greatness and just to be around him and what he’s doing with his foundation is awesome,"during the third inning of Monday's AT&T SportsNet broadcast. Owens' first pitch sailed high to Chas McCormick, who grew up near Philadelphia and was a 9-year-old fan when Owens and the Eagles made it to Super Bowl XXXIX and lost to the Patriots.
Owens has another tie to Houston as well with his daughter Kylee Owens playing outside hitter on the Prairie View A&M volleyball team. The 5-foot-9 Owens was named the SWAC's freshman of the year after leading the conference in services aces and finishing third in kills last season.More Astros News
