What is the lowest attendance for a Houston Astros baseball game?
I'm going with the September 7, 1974 game between the Astros and Padres, which drew 3044 fans according to Baseball Reference.
There were games with lower attendance when they were the Colt .45's. Houston is no place for outdoor baseball.
How far is it from the plate to the left field fence at Wrigley Field?
According to Mapguest, it's only 20 minutes. From: Wrigley Field, 1060 W Addison St, Chicago, IL 606013, to U.S. Cellular Field, 333 W 35th St, Chicago, IL 606016, is an estimated 9.86 miles, and an estimated 20 minutes. We'll be there soon to find out for sure, Good Luck!
Who are the local television announcers for the Houston Astros?
The very annoying Ray Fosse and Glen Kuiper.......
You have the right to your opinion, I fought for that right in a past war, but your are wrong! Foss and Kuipe are the best unlike other I hear on occasion.
What was the original name of the Houston Texans?
For information on the Texans' history, see http://www.houstontexans.com/team/texansteamhistory.asp (on the official Texans website www.houstontexans.com)
Eddie Kasko played in 59 games at short stop for the Houston Astros in 1965, starting in 53 of them. He played for a total of 1422 outs, equivalent to 52.67 9-inning games.
He made 96 putouts, had 152 assists, and committed 6 errors, equivalent to .114 errors per 9-inning game. He had 27 double plays.
When did the Washington Nationals have their first winning season?
The first winning season for the Washington Nationals was in 2012, they finished the year with a 98-64 record.
The Nationals were originally known as the Montreal Expos, who were founded in 1969. As the Expos, their first winning season was in 1979.
When did Craig Biggio get his 3000th hit?
June 28, 2007
On June 28, 2007, Craig Biggio became the first player to collect five hits in the same game in which he reached the 3,000-hit mark. Biggio lined a single in the seventh inning to reach the magical plateau.
What year were the Houston Astros founded?
The club was initially founded in 1962 as the Houston Colt .45's and defeated the Chicago Cubs in their first game, 11-2 on April 10. In 1965, the Colt .45's changed their name to the Houston Astros, and played baseball's first indoor game at the Astrodome on April 9, defeating the New York Yankees 2-1 in an exhibition game. So, to answer the question, the "Astros" debuted on April 9, 1965 though the Houston team had been in place for 3 years. The Astros first season in MLB was in 1962.
Rafael Ramirez played in 27 games at second base for the Houston Astros in 1991, starting in 18 of them. He played for a total of 484 outs, equivalent to 17.93 9-inning games.
