First, a word on methodology.
Two years ago, I did “Oops! All Astros!” That was a player-by-player recap of every player to appear in Houston’s system from the Dominican Summer League right up to the majors. That may have been a little much, and it didn’t get very much engagement.
One year ago, I counted down all 975 players to have appeared in a major league game for the Houston Astros (née Colt .45s) through their first 62 seasons of major league play. Sure, that had a lot of engagement, but I didn’t sleep until February.
