Instead of being excited about who was selected, it seems like Astros Twitter is upset that more wasn’t going. The team has the best record in baseball. You can see why fans expected more. By the way, according to Jake Kaplan, this is the second time the Astros have had five representatives at the All-Star game.
Back in 1994, the Astros sent Jeff Bagwell, Craig Biggio, Ken Caminiti, Doug Drabek, and John Hudek. We can only wonder how far that team would have gone if it weren’t for Bagwell breaking his hand or if the strike hadn’t shut down the season.
