Houston Astros Tickets

Fans are hoping their 2008 season may be a chance at redemption for the Houston Astros at Minute Maid Park. Pinning their hopes on players such as catcher Brad Ausmus, right-handed pitcher Doug Brocail, third baseman Mike Costanzo, and center fielder Michael Bourn, baseball fanatics are hoping the Astros may put their less than stellar past seasons behind them and usher in a new era of baseball domination.

The Houston Astros, one of Major League Baseball’s newer franchises, has earned a loyal fan base since it was created in the early 1960s. On April 10, 1962, the newly formed Astros played their first professional game against the Chicago Cubs, defeating the team in an 11-4 victory. In 1965, the Houston Astros moved to their new home, the Astrodome, making the Astros the first Major League Baseball team to play in a dome.

Through the 1960s and 1970s, the Astros did not make baseball history, with disappointing seasons and no pennant wins, their fans still turned up to watch their favorite team and players battle it out. Finally, Astros’ fans’ patience paid off. In the 1990s, the Houston Astros played their best seasons ever, thanks to star players like Jeff Bagwell and Craig Biggio. In 1997, the team managed to bring home their first ever National League Central title. The following season, the team won an astounding 102 games and set records for attendance, with more than 2.45 million fans turning up to cheer on their team. 1999 would be another stellar season for the Astros, with the team winning 97 games. 1999 also marked the team’s last year at the Astrodome. The following year, 2000, would see the team playing their inaugural game and Minute Maid Park, formerly Enron field. 2001 saw the team sharing the National League title with the St. Louis Cardinals. Since then, though, the team has done little to write home about.
