This is the first in what will be a series of indeterminate length focusing on the players and personalities that foiled the Houston Astros as a franchise. I have a list about a quarter of a mile long, but if you have anyone in mind for a future post, please feel free to leave it in the comments.
Ah hell Kevin Brown. The broomstick in the spokes of our collective bicycle. This freaking guy. Kevin F. Brown. Drafted out of Georgia Tech as the 4th overall pick by the Rangers in 1986 (because the Rangers had been trash for far longer than the Astros), Brown actually made his Major League debut later that season in a September 30 start where he threw 5IP, 6H/2ER, 4K:0BB.
