Houston Astros history
Houston entered the National League in 1962 as an expansion team called the Colt .45s, the same year as the Mets. Three years later the club took the Astros name when it moved into the Astrodome, the first domed stadium in the world built for many sports. It played in the NL West from 1969 to 1993, then the NL Central, before switching to the AL West in 2013.
A first winning record came in 1972, and a first playoff trip in 1980. The late 1990s brought the Killer B's, a group of hitters that included Hall of Famers Craig Biggio and Jeff Bagwell. Houston finally reached the World Series in 2005 but was swept by the White Sox. Jim Crane bought the club in 2011 for $680 million. Daikin Park, once called Enron Field, has been home since 2000.
