Houston Astros Tickets

The Houston Astros arrive in the American League West in 2013 after spending 18 seasons in the NL Central. A significant accomplishment for the club would be to finish in any other place but last. Houston Astros tickets to Minute Maid Park will be well worth the purchase price if this rag tag roster is able to pull off a few upsets in what may be the toughest division in the MLB.

Minute Maid Park Tickets This is not an unachievable dream. Jose Altuve is a young All Star second baseman, first baseman Brett Wallace has shown glimpses of power, and Justin Maxwell is searching for some stability in the outfield while putting up pretty good numbers. There are some more ifs in the batting order as well as many more in the starting rotation, but the Astros have the opportunity to come together over the course of 162 games, just as many teams have done in the past (including a few from this new division).

Houston Astros Tickets

The Houston Astros started playing baseball back in 1962, debuting as the Colt .45s. The club changed its name just about the time they moved indoors and cultivated the very first Astro turf. This change did not alter the team’s quality of play. The franchise still needed time to collect and develop some young players.

Eventually Houston did, and by the beginning of the 1980s the Astros were a force in the National League West. They had Jose Cruz and Cesar Cedeno in the outfield and Joe Morgan in the infield. Joe Niekro, Nolan Ryan, J.R. Richard, and Don Sutton anchored the starting rotation. These early 1980s clubs could not quite make the turn though, even after an impressive 1986 season nearly ended in 100 wins.

The golden age for the Astros came when Craig Biggio and Jeff Bagwell began playing together. The Killer Bs (which always seemed to have a third B, whether it was Derek Bell or Lance Berkman) were the catalyst for an offense that took first place in the NL Central four times and second place in the division seven time from 1994 to 2005. That last season Houston finished in second place in the division, went to the playoffs as a wild card. They had an incredible run through the National League side of the playoffs.

The Astros beat the Braves in a four game series to avenge the four times the Braves took them out in the NLDS during that same golden age. From there, Houston went on to surprise the Cardinals by beating them in six games. The Astros next met the White Sox. Unfortunately the Sox had momentum on their side and they swept the ‘Stros in the World Series. The team has been rebuilding ever since, and sometime soon the team will be in the postseason, only as an American League club.
