A new offseason segment to look back at some of the most magical seasons and records in Astros history. The second installment will highlight J.R. Richard's incredible - and vastly under appreciated - 1979 season.
In the interest of broadening the already expansive coverage of the Crawfish Boxes and striding headlong into the fascinating pages of Astros history, this writer will endeavor to examine a series of the greatest seasons in Astros history - individual performances, team performances, and various record setting performances, with the occasional oddity and rare accomplishments thrown in.
The first installment of this series, looking back at Jeff Bagwell's monumental 1994 season, may be found here.
