I’ll admit that I had completely missed the fact that Steve Pearce was once an Astro. I’ve been a fan my whole life, but for whatever reason just have no memory of Pearce being in an Astros uniform. It could be that it was because his time in Houston came smack dab in the middle of the three straight 100-loss seasons.
Pearce was in Houston for a brief time during the 2012 season. In fact, his 2012 season is one of the more active we’ve seen from anyone. He initially signed as a free agent with the Twins but was released late in Spring Training.
