Houston Astros
The Houston Astros are a Major League Baseball franchise located in Houston, Texas. The team was founded in 1962 as an expansion franchise named the Houston Colt .45's and were a member of the National League. Three years later the team adopted the nickname “Astros” upon their move to the Astrodome, which was the world's first domed stadium and first stadium to have artificial turf for the playing field.
The Astros would move to Minute Maid Park (formly known as Enron Field) in 2000, and then switch to the American League in 2013. The Houston Astros have made one trip to the World Series, representing the National League, in 2005, where they lost to the Chicago White Sox.
