The Astros won Wednesday's game against the Rockies, but one of their super senior fans became the real winner.
Gully, who has a fixed income and difficulty getting around, was gifted with tickets to Wednesday's game against the Colorado Rockies by the Astros Organization and Twilight Wish Houston, a nonprofit that grants wishes to residents."I watch on TV all the time, but I've never been to a big ball game like this in my whole life," Gully said.
Gully was also given Astros gear and a shot on the big board during the game.
