The last 40 years have been tough times for Astros fans. Since 1965, when the team changed its name from the Colt .45s to the Astros, the team has had 21 winning seasons, but most have been by differentials of five to 10 games at best. In 1998, the team managed 102 wins, its best performance in franchise history, but has had only five more seasons of 90 wins or more in its history, three of which have come in the past six years.."Brian has been an elite player in our league for over a decade. He showed great leadership and helped develop a winning culture over his time with the Bears. We appreciate all he has given our team, on and off the field.
