Watson Wants to Return

Bob Watson is very interested in returning to the Houston Astros as general manager.

"I have really a real feeling for the Houston Astros," he said. "As you know, and hopefully our readers know, that in 1964 I signed with then the Colt .45s, so I go a way back. I've been with this organization in a number of capacities. And I left to go to New York, and bottom line is I left a job undone. I'd like to culminate my career of some 43 years as we speak with bringing in and putting this club where it needs to be.

"And I think the other reason is I think Drayton McLane deserves to have a championship club. He has worked so hard and tirelessly. He has spent a lot of his money and energy trying to make this a championship city, and I'd like to help him accomplish that."

Bob Watson's had an extremely interesting career. He scored the 1,000,000th run in baseball history. He hit for the cycle in both leagues. He worked in the front office of teams and for the commissioner's office, breaking the color barrier for the position of general manager. I'm sure the Houston fans would love to have him back.
