HOUSTON – We watched them rise, we watched them fall and we watched many of them leave Houston. However, some are ready to stay until their last breath, it seems.

He wrote, “My brother forever. Thank you for everything, #1.”

In the comments, Beer Belly Sports wrote, “Lance, can you promise to never leave us?”

McCullers wrote, “I be here as long as they will have me. Bury me in the H.”

McCullers’ words are a balm after the loss of big names in Houston sports like J.J. Watt, James Harden, Deandre Hopkins and George Springer, among many others.
