The Houston Astros are celebrating their 50th anniversary this coming season. Okay, now, you might be aware that they celebrated their 50th anniversary three years ago. So... what's going on? Actually, it makes sense: The franchise began in 1962, but they were the Houston Colt .45s at that time, playing in old temporary Colt Stadium out in the Astrodome parking lot while the dome was being built. In 1965, they moved indoors and changed their name to Astros. So this IS the 50th anniversary of being called the Astros. GLAD WE'VE CLEARED THAT UP. (Houston Chronicle)
