Last week saw the release of the 2019 Hall of Fame ballot, and there are quite a few one-time Astros on the list. From holdovers like Billy Wagner and Roger Clemens, to newcomers like Andy Pettitte and Miguel Tejada, But when we’re talking about players associated with the Astros, there are really just two that stand above the rest: longtime stalwarts Lance Berkman and Roy Oswalt, both of whom will be making their ballot debuts this winter.
There will be a lot of time to discuss how they fit into that crowded and complicated mess over the next few months, but I want to focus today on something a little more Astros-centric.
