There were a few players in the 1970s whom Rex was told to emulate if he wanted to play Big League Baseball.  Art Howe was one of them and he is our guest this week.  Art started his athletic career as a football player at the University of Wyoming.  After an injury, he concentrated on baseball and it paid dividends.  Art started out in the Pirate organization but was traded to the Houston Astros and finally made it to the Majors permanently at the age of 30 in 1977.  He was able to play all of the infield positions and was part of the Greatest 5-Game NLCS in history when the Astros lost to the Phillies in 1980.  Not only did Art have a solid Major League career, but he followed that up with a solid managing career with a record of 1129-1137.  We travel back in time to the mid-1970s to the early-1980s Back When There Was Baseball, with our esteemed guest, Art Howe.
