No future Astros, only former Astros celebrating today:
OF Billy Hatcher (51)
Billy Hatcher came to Houston via a trade with the Chicago Cubs for Jerry Mumphrey. He played for the Astros from 1986 to 1988 and part of 1989, hitting .266 during that time. His best year offensively for the Astros was 1987 when he hit .296 for the season. Billy is best remembered by Houston fans for postponing the inevitable. In Game 6 of the NLCS in 1986, he hit a homerun in the 14th inning against the Mets to re-tie the game which the Astros eventually lost in the 16th inning to lose the series. In 1989, he was traded to Pittsburgh for Glen Wilson and later played for the Reds, the Red Sox, the Phillies and the Rangers. He is now the 1B Coach for the Reds.
