Astros Seek Turnaround with New Front Office and Manager
Houston faces a shift as Judge Hofheinz replaces with Neyland and Shlenker to push the Astros toward a pennant bid. Bill Virdon brings a tougher, neater approach, with Bob Prince noting improved conditioning and a clearer hierarchy under Tal Smith and Sidney H. The command changes include Gene Elston stepping aside from game narration and Bob Prince taking over play by play.
