17, 2011, Major League Baseball unanimously approved the purchase of the Houston Astros by a group headed by Houston businessman Jim Crane, marking the beginning of a new era of Astros baseball.

The name was in honor of Houston's importance to the country's space program and to match with the meaning of the name, the Colt . 45s were renamed the ""Astros"". The new park, coined as the "Eighth Wonder of the World" did little to help the play on the field.

The team was founded in 1962 and was initially known as the Houston Colt . 45s, taking its name from the famous sidearm of the American West. The team was at first fairly poor, as it finished among the bottom three positions in the NL in its first seven seasons.

HOUSTON -- A move to the space-age Astrodome meant the local baseball team deserved a space-age nickname, too. Thus the Astros were born, replacing the Colt . 45s name that the expansion National League club had used for its first three seasons and ushering in a new chapter in Houston baseball history.

The Astros in total have completed 61 seasons in Major League Baseball, qualifying for the postseason sixteen times and reaching the World Series five times (2005, 2017, 2019, 2021 and 2022) with two world championships (2017, 2022).
