The Houston Astros are one of my least favorite teams. The are kinda like the Rockies in the way that they win some games but not a lot. However they kicked butt this year. they had a record of 86 and 76. they even made the postseason. They had to play the New York Yankees in a winner take all game(Wildcard Game) then they had to play the Kansas City Royals. The Royals ended up winning the World Series but the Astros did give up a fight. The Royals won the series 3 games to 2. So it was very close. That was the closest they have been to a World Series. That being said they have never won a World Series. One of the coolest facts about the Astros is that they switched Leagues. In 2013 they moved from the National League to the America League. Since 2013 they have been members of they American League West division. The Astros have one main nickname that is mostly used by their fans. That name is the 'Stros. My favorite player on the Astros is Evan Gattis. He played for the Braves before he came to the Astros. He plays catcher and every now and then left field. He has a cool nickname The white Bear. His team mates call him that because the has so much power in his swing. One of the main reason the Astros were so good this year is because of their pitching. They had one of the best defenses in the MLB, with a decent offence to put runs on the board.
