Houston Astros TBTC Jerseys worn in 1999?

[BamaHater]

Picked this beauty up at the Astros game last night from Astros Authentics. Jersey is an early 90's throwback jersey worn in the last season of the Astrodome in 1999. This is #36 Jack Howell who played his final two season with Astros in 98 and 99.Made by Rawlings, the tagging is the inside of the jersey. Not sure why the Astros still had this in their possession. To my knowledge I thought they sold them off in 1999 as part of a charity auction after the game occurred. Anyway I love Astros throwbacks so I had to get this one. Jersey shows some dirt marks so he could have seen action in the TBTC game. My question is can anyone tell me the date of the game?

These jerseys were worn on 8/29/99. The Astros beat the Florida Marlins
10 to 4. Howell did not play in this game. I have a Derek Bell but he did
not play either. They both wore them on the bench. I hope this helps.

Nice pick up. I too am surprised that they still had it. Do you mind sharing what you paid for the jersey?

Jerry is right on with the date.

I paid $250 for the jersey. Seeing how rare these are and the fact they still had one to sell, i'm pretty happy with the price.
