Houston Astros and the World of Baseball

Baseball is the country’s favorite pastime and perhaps no other team is as revered as the Houston Astros. This professional baseball team participates in Major League Baseball (MLB) as a member club of the American League (AL) West Division. The team started off in the National League (NL) where it played for 51 seasons until 2013 after which they switched to the AL.

Houston Astros entered the NL in 1962, around the same time as the New York Mets. At that time they were called Houston Colt .45s. After the moon landing, and following the Astros move to the Astrodome, the name changed to reflect Houston’s role as the host of the Johnson Space Centre.

The Astros played in the NL West division between 1969 and 1993, then switched to the Central division between 1994 and 2012 until, in 2013, they moved to the AL West.

In 1972, they posted their first winning record, and in 1980 made it through the playoffs for the first time—progressively establishing their presence in the world of baseball. From there on out it was a tough ride. In 2005 they made their first World Series appearance but were crushed by the Chicago White Sox. The next decade was that of transformation for Houston Astros—utilizing Sabermetrics and innovative analytical technologies, Astros moved from being a franchise known for losing 100 games in 3 seasons to one that won 100 games in 3 straight seasons.

Without a doubt, Astros has given other teams good competition over the years. The team has been home to some great players like George Springer, Joe Niekro, Cesar Cedeno, Billy Wagner, Roy Oswalt, and Jimmy Wynn—watching each one of whom has been a privilege. It is no wonder then baseball enthusiasts can not wait for the Astros match.
