As the lockout continues, I have another all-time list for Houston Astros fans. This time, it’s managers.

5. Bill Virdon

Coming in at No. 5 is Bill Virdon, who led the club from 1975 to 1982. He finished with a 544-522 record, amassing two playoff appearances, making the National League Championship Series in 1980 with the return of Joe Morgan. Virdon is important, as he led the Astros to their first postseason ever, which should always be remembered and appreciated.
