Fan celebrates 100th birthday in style with the Astros

You're never too old to have your dreams come true -- even if you're 100.

A lifelong Astros fan, Malaquias Morales -- who will reach the century mark this year -- got a huge birthday surprise from the Astros: the team invited him to watch batting practice on the field and meet some of the Astros players.

It all started when Morales' daughter Eva Prasla wrote a letter to Astros broadcaster Alan Ashby telling him of her father's age and asking if he could meet any of the players as a birthday surprise. Ashby passed along the request, and the Astros made it happen.
