To paraphrase from a famous movie, the one constant through all the years has been baseball. As we head into 2026, we continue our look at the all-time leaders in both offensive and defensive categories for all 30 teams. Today, we take a deeper dive into the Houston Astros.
The Astros began life in 1962 as the Colt 45’s, joining the National League along with the Mets, and became the Astros three years later. In 2013, they moved to the American League, becoming just the second team to switch leagues. I’ve seen 223 players don the Astro uniform in the 52 games I’ve seen them play live, including Game 2 of the 2005 World Series and the final games of the 2021 ALDS.
