Players You Forgot Were Astros: Pitcher Curt Schilling

Admittedly, there are many Astros fans who have not forgotten that Curt Schilling was once in a Houston uniform. But his brief tenure in H-town and the trades that brought him to town and sent him away are all worth revisiting.

The trade that brought him to Houston was actually one of the better trades the club has ever made. They sent a soon-to-be 30-year-old slugger Glenn Davis to the Orioles in January of 1991 in exchange for Schilling, Steve Finley and Pete Harnisch.

Davis had been a big part of the Astros lineup for the previous six seasons, hitting at least 20 homers in all of those years and garnering three Top-10 MVP finishes and a pair of All-Star selections.
