Houston Astros - Representing Houston in Major League Baseball
The Houston Astros refers to a baseball club that plays in Major League Baseball as a member of the national League's Central Division. Based in Houston, Texas, the team was established in the year 1962. The team has made it to the World Series just once, though it was not fortunate enough to win the title. Still, the Astros have some good performances to their credit, making them favorite among baseball admirers. If you are one of their admirers, you should take the opportunity to purchase the Houston Astros tickets this season and support the Astros to win.
A Little Background
Even before 1962, a number of efforts were made to bring the Major League Baseball to Houston. In fact, a new league called the Continental League was planned to be established, Houston being one of its supporters. This enforced the National League and the American league to expand and Houston had bright chances of winning a franchise. The Houston Colt .45s was the name chosen for the team that joined the National League to play for 1962 season. The team got 8th position out of 10 teams in its first season. It was in the year 1965 that the team's name was changed to the Houston Astros.
World Series Titles
The Astros have been incapable of winning any of the World Series title so far. In fact, they made only one appearance in the World Series in 2005, where they were defeated by the Chicago White Sox. Thus, the Astros have only one National League pennant to their credit. However, the team has won 4 Central Division titles and 2 West Division titles to its credit.
Hall of Fame
The top players in the history of the Houston Astros franchises include names like Jeff Bagwell, Craig Biggio, Jose Cruz, Cesar Cedeno, Larry Dierker, Bob Watson, Jimmy Wynn and Mike Scott.
Some Additional Astros Facts
Black, brick red and sand form the colors of the team. The team's logo consists of a five-pointed star with Astros written inside. 'The Stros' is the popular nickname of the team. The Colt Stadium was the first ballpark for the team. The Astrodome was used for the same purpose till 1999. At present the team plays at the Minute Maid Park.
The Houston Astros tickets are purchased by hundreds of thousands of team's fans every year. So, make sure that you are able to book your tickets in advance this season.

I went with my friends to see the final baseball match in World Series. the match was so excited. The match was really tough. The audience were enjoying the match with little tension. The winning team for that series was Houston Astros. That was really a wonderful moment for the team because They won the series for first time and they did it because of their team work and spirit. We enjoyed the match very much. I really suggest the people to watch the Houston Astros game. You will really enjoy it.
