Astros fans, I need a little help. I love reading bout 'Stros history, and I've got quite a few books on it. But pretty much everything I've found has been about either the founding of the Astros/Colts, the 1970s teams, the 1990s Biggio Bagwell years, the recent World Champ team, or books with a general overview of the entire history of the 'Stros. But I've always had a special place in my heart for the Astros I grew up with. Mike Scott, The Big Bopper Glen Davis, Kevin Bass, Bill Doran, Alan Ashby, Jim Deshaies, Dave Smith, Nolan Ryan, and Jose Cruuuuuuuuuuuz.... basically that mid 80s team that came oh so close to our first World Series (I got to miss school to go to game 6. Must've cried for a week afterwards).

I'd like to relive those years. So can anyone point me in the direction of any books featuring or entirely focused on the classic 1980s Astros lineup? Thanks.
