Now that the voting is closed, I'm comfortable to inform you all that Ace didn't score on the play.

Can a team be inducted into the GIF HOF?

If so, the Astros definitely deserve to be in there. I wasn’t even sure which Damn it, Astors GIF was being displayed until I opened it.

Houston should just make all of the bases out of trampolines.

- Field Gulls’ own Kenneth Arthur

Can we have a tournament made entirely of Astros GIFs?
