Who From the 2015-22 Astros Should Be Inducted into the Astros Hall of Fame?
With the Astros creating a team hall of fame a few years back, I was wondering who from this current Golden Age of Astros baseball would be worthy of induction, or are on the right track. Here are a few names. I’ve also decided to bold the names of players whom I think should have their numbers retired as of right now.
- George Springer
- Carlos Correa
- Yuli Gurriel
- Alex Bregman
- Jose Altuve
- Dallas Keuchal
- Justin Verlander
- Yordan Alvarez
- Kyle Tucker
- Zack Greinke
- Jeremy Pena
Any thoughts?

Hi guys. I was wanting to look back on some Astros games that I attended in my childhood, either via full games or highlight reels. If this can’t be shared for copyright reasons, I fully understand, but want to check regardless. Here are the games in question:
- June 22, 2006 vs. the Twins (aka the Roger Clemens comeback game)
- June 15, 2008 vs. the Yankees
- September 11, 2009 vs. the Pirates
- August 1, 2016 vs. the Blue Jays
Thanks in advance!

My Orange Shirt
 |
Okay guys, I’ve got something REALLY crazy to bring up regarding the Astros. See this shirt? My mom bought it for me a couple of months ago. ​ World Series Game 1: I’m wearing a Houston Rockets shirt for the majority of the day. I’m helping out at a haunted house as well, so the game was actually happening while I was in costume. The Astros lose. World Series Game 2: I decide to wear this shirt the day after. The Astros win. World Series Game 3: This shirt is in the wash so I wear a different, blue, Dri-Fit Astros shirt for the first game in Philadelphia. The Astros lose. World Series Game 4: This shirt is now OUT of the wash, and so I decide to wear it because of the Game 2 win. The Astros win. World Series Game 5: I should mention that I did a lot of laundry during this time because I went to India later in November and thus I didn’t have a lot of clothes that weren’t in my suitcase. So I wash it again and wear it again the next day. The Astros WIN. And finally, World Series Game 6: I again wash the shirt and wear it again. Though I usually get stressed during big games and don’t actually watch them, I decide to go to a bar to watch the game with other fans, while wearing this shirt. THE ASTROS WIN THE WHOLE THING. In other words – EVERY SINGLE TIME THE ASTROS WON A WORLD SERIES GAME, I WAS WEARING THIS ORANGE SHIRT ​ submitted by /u/Gemnist |
