Today in Astros history - December 15
2006 - Baggy retiers
After 15 years in the league, all with the Astros, first baseman Jeff Bagwell calls it quits. The Astros all-time leader in home runs (449), RBI’s (1,529), extra base hits (969) and walks (1,401), Bagwell retired with a .297 batting average and still continues to work in baseball to this day.
2014 - Jed returns
For the second time in his career, shortstop Jed Lowrie signed a deal with the Astros, this time for three-years. This didn’t end up working out though as injuries kept him off the field. The Astros were forced to bring up a prospect to replace him, calling up a 20-year-old Carlos Correa to fill his spot.
2016 - Beltran is back
