From playing in a dome, to wearing a rainbow jersey, the Houston Astros franchise has had a lot of swagger over the years. Let’s break down who the coolest Astros of all-time are.
5. Joe Morgan (1963-1971, 1980)
This Hall of Famer rocked a killer mustache and sideburns before it was cool. Playing for the early Astros, he created their first taste of swagger, making the shooting star jersey the cool thing to own as a kid in Houston (according to my Father). With his base stealing speed and his acrobatic jumps at second base, he was an intimidating force for anyone coming into the Astrodome.
Here are a couple pictures of Joe Morgan exemplifying his coolness. Preview for my article dropping later today. @astrosCTH pic.twitter.com/xyTYloF7YJ
