Happy Birthday - 12/6

Only Former Astros with birthdays today

LHP Jay Dahl (died June 21, 1965 at 19)
Dahl pitched in 2.2 innings for the Colt 45's at the ripe old age of 17.  The game featured an all rookie line-up, including such notables as Joe Morgan, Jim Wynn and Rusty Staub.  For the story of his all too short life, his tragic death and the aftermath, go here.

C Kevin Cash (34)
Played 20 games for Houston in 2010 before being traded to Boston for Angel Sanchez
