Happy Birthday - 2/27

No future Astros and only one former Astro with a birthday today ~

OF Carl Warwick (75)
Obtained in a trade with the Cardinals for LHP Bobby Shantz, Warwick appeared in 280 games for the Colt 45's in 1962 and 1963 with a batting line of .257/.315/.373/.689.  He was traded to the Cardinals in February of 1964 for 1B/OF Jim Beauchamp and RHP Chuck Taylor and was used as a pinch hitter in that year's World Series, going 3 for 4 with a walk, an RBI and two runs scored as the Cardinals beat the Yankees 4-3 to win the series.
