JR Richard was a little before my time, but my dad speaks fondly of him. He actually attended Colt .45s games before the renaming to the Astros. His original team was the Cardinals, as there were no Texas-based MLB franchises when he was growing up, and local radio carried Cardinals games.
The one guys who would have been a HOF if not for that horrific injury. He was fun to watch. Just like Kerry Wood. 2 careers that were cut short.
I also like the Toy Cannon Jimmy Wynn. And of course Bagwell and Biggio. The Killer B's were fun but we could never get past the Braves and that pitching staff with Smoltz, Glavin and Maddux lol
In my opinion, Biggio is the greatest Astro of all time. What a career. So glad he got to play in a World Series, even if they got swept.
I lived in Atlanta in the late 90s. I still hate the Braves.
