HOUSTON -- As the Astros' outstanding utility player last season, Marwin Gonzalez helped lift the spirits of Houston fans as the team reached postseason for the first time since appearing in the 2005 World Series.
On Thursday, Gonzalez and teammate Jon Singleton were delivering the goods once again. The pair appeared at a Houston Kroger store for the "Fill the Freezer" food drive, an initiative of the Astros and Kroger that benefits the Star of Hope Mission.
The food drive was a success, with a significant number of turkeys and hams being donated, in addition to canned goods for the homeless and those who are most in need.
