Infielder Bill Doran of the Houston Astros catches an opponent in a run down during a game.
We take a look back at the trade in which the Houston Astros sent Bill Doran to the Reds.
August 30, 1990 was a day that will forever be remembered in Houston history. That’s the day the Astros traded reliever Larry Andersen to the Red Sox for a minor league third baseman named Jeff Bagwell. What gets lost in the shuffle is a second trade that took place the same day sending longtime infielder Bill Doran to Cincinnati.
