88 A HOME RUN SHELBY HODGE IS ON DECK. PHOTOGRAPHY PRISCILLA DICKSON, WILSON PARISH. T here's no denying the widespread philanthropy that The Astros Foundation has gifted the community. That philanthropic largesse is what earned the foundation the Holocaust Museum Houston's Guardian of the Human Spirit Award. Astros Foundation executive director Twila Carter accepted the honor before 850 fans who filled the Hilton Americas-Houston ballroom for the luncheon fundraiser. Highlight of the day was the on-stage discussion among H-E-B president Scott McClelland, Astros executive advisor Reid Ryan, and MLB Hall of Famer Jeff Bagwell. Before the program, McClelland invited the throng to take a seventh-inning stretch and join in singing "Take Me Out to the Ball Game."
