Houston Astros rickets will probably get scarce so make sure you get hold of one before the games become more exciting, what with the presence of Carlos Lee, Hunter Pence and Roy Oswall. The NL Central will definitely be an exciting place for baseball fans as the season’s firepower turns up.

The Houston Astros used to be known as the Houston Colt 45s until 1965 when their name was changed and they were moved to the Astrodome. The Houston Astros became popular when they went on a winning streak in the late 90s. The Houston Astros went to the World Series in 2005 but prior to that they won the NL Central Championship during the years 1997, 1998 and 1999.

The Houston Astros is a very competitive Major League Baseball team as evident with the games it played versus St. Louis, Chicago, Cincinnati, Pittsburgh and Houston. Among those responsible for obtaining Houston’s Major League franchise are Marco A Perez and Craig F. Culinan, Jr. That franchise was awarded to Houston in 1960, naming the Houston Colt 45s as the team to beat under its president Culinan. The Colts started playing in 1962 in the Colt Stadium. However, a new dome has been made a condition of the team’s entry into the National League to keep the fans and the players comfortable considering the extreme humidity and heat during Houston summers.

The Houstons, now sporting a new name, got their new Stadium in 1965. The revolutionary design of the Astros Stadium made it a fitting new home for the Houston Astros considering that NASA’s space program was based in Houston.
