In preparation for a 2020 season that may or may not happen, I’m going around the major leagues and writing mean words about each team. This time, I’ll take on those no good, dirty cheaters: The Houston Astros.
Brief history of the franchise
They started out as the National League’s Colt .45s (arguably a better name) until 1965 when they were renamed the Astros. For their first 55 years of existence, they weren’t all that successful, failing to win a single World Series game. It took them until 2005 just to qualify for the Fall Classic, and once they got there, they were summarily swept by the Chicago White Sox.
