In 1960 Houston was awarded a National League expansion franchise the Colt 45’s. It was one of the worst parks in major league history with unbearable heat and mosquitoes so large that Sandy Koufax called them “two engine jobs” . In 1965 the Harris County Domed stadium that cost 35 million to build housed the Houston Astros and the first domed stadium in baseball. In 2000 the new park Minute Maid Park (Enron Field) it consisted of air conditioning and a retractable roof and helped lessen the humidity and the heat of Texas.
In September 1963 the Colt 45’s sought to give their fans a glimpse of the future by starting nine rookies in a game against the Mets. On September 29 1963 John Paciorek of Houston went three for three in a game against the Mets and prevented him from ever playing again. He retired with the most hits by any player with a perfect 1.000 batting average. The first game to be played on astro turf took place on the 18th of 1966. The longest game in big league history forced grounds keeping changes. The game took six hours and six minutes.

On Sept 25 1986, Mike Scott clinched Houston's division win with flair by hurling a no hitter against San Francisco Giants. In 2004 by the All Star game Williams was fired for Phil Gardner and they went to the wild card heap clinching on the final day of the season. In 2005 they accomplished more then what they thought they could. They rebounded from a miserable 15-30 start to become the first team since the 1914 Boston Braves to reach the playoffs. After beating the Braves in the National League Division Series for the second year in a row, the Houston Astros beat the cardinals in six games in an NLCS rematch of the year earlier to win a world series birth. Lets see what the Houston Astros can bring to the plate in 2006.
