Houston Astros Snapshot
Forget the space race, the Astros have a pennant race to win. The Houston Astros Baseball Club joined Major League Baseball in 1962 as the Colt .45s of the National League (the team was renamed in 1965). The team has been a perennial playoff contender, however, and earned its first pennant in 2005. (Houston lost the World Series that year to the Chicago White Sox.) The Astros play host at Minute Maid Park on the edge of downtown Houston. Businessman Drayton McLane, who had owed the Astros since 1992, sold the franchise to a group led by Houston businessman Jim Crane. The team will moved to the American League in 2013.
The emergence of Jose Altuve, George Springer, Carlos Correa, and Alex Bregman form a collection of some of the best young talent in MLB and has the Astros on the rise once again. In 2015, under first-year manager, A. J. Hinch, the Astros broke through for their first playoff appearance in 10 years. In 2017, the Houston Astros won their first World Series title.
