Happy Birthday - 7/9

RHP John Neely (22)
Neely is one of our newer Astros. The Sugarland native was drafted in 2012 out of Texas Tech in the 30th round. In six appearances out of the bullpen for Tri-City this season, he has a 4.50 ERA and a 1.600 WHIP.

SS Sonny Jackson (68)
Jackson was signed by the Colt .45's as an amateur free agent in 1963 and played for Houston from 1963 to 1967. He only made a handful of appearances from 1963 through 1965. He came in second in Rookie of the Year voting to Tommy Helms in 1966 when he hit .292/.341/.334 and led the league with 160 singles (out of his 174 hits).
