Ha

CARDS I HAVE	PLAYER	POSITION	REMARKS
1	Mike Hacker Card	Pitcher	5'9" lefthander was a 25th round pick in the June 2008 draft and excellent in relief for the 2008 ValleyCats, with a 2.73 ERA and a .187 BAA. Pitched at Lexington in 2009, with a little less success.
4	Kevin Hagen Cards	Pitcher	Long-time minor league veteran won ten or more games four times at three different levels; spent parts of 1987 and all of 1988 with the Toros
1	Camron Hahn Card	Catcher	Second round pick in the June 1997 draft never got past Martinsville, due to injuries
11	Dave Hajek Cards	2nd Base	1990 Sally League All-Star rose to Tucson by '94 and got serious consideration in 1996 for the third base spot previously held by the departed Dave Magadan. The cold reality is that Hajek was 3 for 12 in 13 games with three runs scored over the '95 and '96 seasons. Went 2 fvor 3 with a double, 2 RBI and a run scored in Mark Petkovsek's no-hitter on May 16, 1994.
18	John Halama Cards	Pitcher	On October 1, 1998, became the Player to be Named Later in the Randy Johnson trade. Up and down with the Mariners, but did pitch a perfect game in the PCL--not by any means an easy thing to do.
1	AdamHale Card	Pitcher	32nd round draft pick pitched at Greeneville in 2006
1	Chad Hale Card	Pitcher	Pitched for the River Bandits in 1997 following his acquisition from the Red Sox organization. After that--who knows?
3	Josh Halemanu Cards	1st Base	Honolulu native was a long way from home with the Auburn Astros in 1994 and 1995
4	Billy Hall Cards	Pitcher	1995 Midwest League All-Star was hurt in '96 and never recovered
1	Marty Hall Card	Pitcher	Pitched at Asheville in 1997
3	Bryan Hallberg Cards	Pitcher	Righthander inished tenth in ERA (2.44) in the 2006 New York-Penn League. The only member of the 2006 ValleyCats to be on the Opening Day roster for the '07 version. Got a promotion to Lexington in August. Nice 2.68 ERA and nice 1.14 WHIP for the '08 Salem Avalanche
2	Robert Hallgren Cards	Outfield	Spent '76 with Covington and Dubuque; topped out in '77 with Cocoa, before moving on to the Rangers' organization. Hallgren "had some pop for a small guy" per his teammate with the 1975 Covington Astros, Mike Lally.
12	Mark Hamilton Cards	Infield/ Outfield/ Pitcher	In his short career in the Astros organization, this TCU grad has played infield at Martinsville in 2000, played the Outfield at Michigan in 2001, pitched at Michigan the same year, pitched at Tri-City and Michigan in 2002, and pitched at Salem and Lexington in 2003. Results at all positions so far have been mixed, although Topps is certainly all over him, and he was a Midwest League All-Star in 2001
1	Ryan Hamilton Card	Pitcher	12th round pick in the June 2000 draft: one short season at Martinsville, then goodbye . . .
2	Anthony Hampton Cards	Outfield	Looks like he missed the card shoot and had to come back that night
2	Mark Hampton Cards	Pitcher	Gave it a whirl at Auburn in 1990
106	Mike Hampton Cards	Pitcher	Bulldog hit .311 AND won 22 in 99; becoming the first guy since Bob Gibson in 1970 to win 20 and hit over .300. This season as I'll argue, was an aberration almost as wild as Mark Whiten (lifetime .259) hitting 4 homers and driving in 12 RBI in a single game. Returned to the fold as previouslky damaged goods for 2009--trips to the DL and an ERA over 5.00 were the predictable results.
3	Tim Hamulack Cards	Pitcher	Lefty pitched well at three stops between 1997 and 1999, leading Michigan in ERA for 1999. What'd we do, trade him away?
1	James Hand Card	Nice Old Man	Included without explanation in the 1982 TCMA Tucson Toros set
3	Ron Hanisch Cards	Trainer	Medicine Man for the '91 - '93 Asheville Tourists
1	Devern Hansack Card	Pitcher	Righthander from Pearl Lagoon, Nicaragua had a 2.18 to 1 K/BB ratio for Tri-City in 2002 and a 1.65 ratio for Lexington in 2003
2	Carroll Hardy Cards	Outfield	Played halfback for the 1955 San Francisco '49ers, bounced around the majors for a while, then hit .194 for the 1963-64 Colts. Pepsi included him in their 1963 set.
3	Larry Hardy Cards	Pitcher/Coach	Acquired with Joe McIntosh in the trade that sent Doug Rader packing to San Diego, Hardy pitched in 15 games at Houston in '76 and got an SSPC for his trouble. By '78, he was doing more coaching than pitching at AAA Charleston
2	Don Harkness Cards	Infield	Pitched for two really bad Florida State league affiliates in '77 and '78, at Cocoa in '77 under Jimmy Johnson and at Daytona in '78 under Leo Posada
7	Al Harley Cards	2nd Base	Once misidentified as Jim Dougherty
108	PETE HARNISCH Cards	Pitcher	Two great and two slightly less than average seasons for the Astros. Later screwed by the Mets and chewing tobaccco both.
3	Mark Harrington Cards	GM	Went from head Groundskeeper to Assistant GM to GM for the Auburn Astros between 1994 and 1996
1	Buddy Harris Card	Pitcher	Pitched in 22 games for Houston in 1970 and '71 with a combined 6.32 ERA. Shares the 1971 Topps # 404 Rookie Stars with Roger Metzger
2	Lum Harris Cards	Manager	70 - 105 as skipper of the Houston club in 1964 and 1965; Harris is thus last on any list of Houston managers ranked by winning percentage, and second to last on any list ranked by wins (in front of only interim one-game-winner Salty Parker).
1	Reggie Harris Card	Pitcher	Played professional football for the Seattle Seahawks, in the majors for the Phillies, and in 1998 for the New Orleans Zephyrs
13	Rusty Harris Cards	Infield/Coach	Debuted at Auburn in 1987, and actually hit .294 during a partial season at AAA Tucson in 1990. Never hit higher than .264 otherwise, and his last playing year was 1992 for the Jackson Generals. Coached in 1994 at Auburn and 1996 at Jackson. . .
5	CHUCK HARRISON Cards	1st Base	Even though the back of his 1967 Topps # 8 says different, Opening Day in 1966; hit .248 in three years for the Astros.
5	Billy Hart Card	1st Base	Fifth round draft pick only played ten games at Tri-city that summer due to injury, but did well in the limited action, hitting .282 with a .364 OBP. Edged Salem Avalanche teammate Mitch Einertson for the 2007 Carolina League batting title, hitting .305405 to Einertson's .304933. Hit .260 with 23 doubles in an injury-shortened campaign at Corpus in '08
1	Andy Harter Card	1st Base	Free agent played 1988 at Asheville
17	Dean Hartgraves Cards	Pitcher	Threw a 7-inning no-hitter for the Asheville Tourists on his 22nd birthday, August 12, 1988, then threw another six-inning jewel for the Osceola Astros one year, nine days later. He thus became, with Juan Quintana and Don Wilson, one of only three players in organizational history to throw two no-hitters while toiling for the franchise. Made his major league debut at the age of 29 years 254 days, and won his first major league game only six days shy of his 30th birthday. 2 - 0 with a 3.91 in his 59-game stint with Houston in 1995 and 1996, before being left on waivers and claimed by the Braves in July of '96.
1	Jason Hartman Card	Strength Coach	I had never seen a card for a strength coach, 'til I saw this one . . . . Worked for Round Rock in 2007.
2	JC Hartman Cards	Infield	In 1955, at the age of 21, was a teammate of Satchel Paige on the Kansas City Monarchs. Played 1961 for the AA Houston Buffaloes, then after starting 1962 at AAA Oklahoma City, was called up to the major league Houston club July 21, 1962. Looks like he did the same thing in 1963, started at AAA Oklahoma City, then got called up to Houston. Always claimed to make more money selling teammates haircuts than playing baseball. . .
4	Bill Hartnett Cards	Pitcher	Eighth round selection in the 1993 draft played at Auburn in 1993 and at Osceola in 1994
1	Bob Hartsfield Card	Manager	Manager of each Auburn Astro team between the time of baseball's return to Cayuga County in 1982 and 1985 would become a scout, and sign Earl Cash, Nelson Rood, Rob Parker, and Calvin James.
2	Michael Hasley Cards	Pitcher	Spent '74 and part of '75 at Covington, spent parts of '75 and '76 at Dubuque
45	BILLY HATCHER Cards	Outfield	Opening Day 87 - 89, but what's really important here is that he hit the biggest home run in Houston history, his 14th inning solo shot off Jesse Orosco, that tied the sixth game of the '86 NLCS at 4, and assured that the 16-inning affair would be remembered as one of the greatest games ever.
17	Chris Hatcher Cards	Pitcher	1991 Midwest League All-Star (and MVP of the midseason game) had reached AAA Tucson by 1994, but could advance no further. Good power, with 70 home runs and 20 triples through 95, but four seasons with more strikeouts than games? Ya gotta make him a . .067 average for the 1998 Royals in 15 At Bats and 8 games.
5	Grady Hatton Cards	Manager	His success at AAA Oklahoma City--two league titles in three years--got him a Minor League Manager of the Year award in 1965, and a promotion to Houston, but after a good first year showing for the 'Stros in 1966, did not translate to further success.
1	Chris Hawkins Card	Pitcher	Left-handed pitcher gave it a whirl for Auburn in 1987
2	Dustin Hawkins Card	Outfield	37th Round Pick from Ogden, Utah hit .288 at Martinsville in 2002, and .188 at Lexington the following year
3	LaTroy Hawkins Card	Pitcher	Acquired for Matthew Cusick on July 30, 2008, this good setup man who for some reason couldn't close actually saved 11 for the 2009 squad when Jose Valverde went down with an injury.
1	Rick Haynes Card	Infield	Hit .265 at Covington in '74 and got the promotion to Dubuque for '75 - where he flunked out, with a .200 average and only six RBIs.

He

CARDS I HAVE	PLAYER	POSITION	REMARKS
2	Beau Hearod Cards	Outfield	Hit .228 but hit five homers in his debut for the 2003 Tri-City Valleycats; led the Lexington Legends a year later with 25, AND bumped his average up, too.
3	Bill Heath Cards	Catcher	Acquired for a couple minor leaguers along with Dave Nicholson, Heath was the 'Stros primary backup catcher to John Bateman in 1966. I guess the 'Stros realized that there wasn't exactly a shortage in the organization of backup catchers, what with Hal King, Ron Brand, and Dave Adlesh, so in May of '67 they sent Heath to Detroit for cash.
13	Jeff Heathcock Cards	Pitcher	Right-handed reliever was used by Houston in '83, '85, '87 and '88. Gave up 9 home runs in 56 innings in '85, but still somehow kept the ERA to a respectable 3.36. Had a 5.00 + ERA at both Tucson and Houston in '88. What happened, Jeff? Owner of a lifetime .029 batting average in the majors.
3	Brian Hecht Cards	Pitcher	Sidearmer was real good at Auburn AND Quad City in '97
7	Danny Heep Cards	1st Base	Co-MVP (with Alan Knicely) of the 1979 Southern League. Led the 1980 PCL in hitting with a .343 and won the league MVP that year all by hisself (though '80 teammate Knicely had 30+ more RBI). Got traded to the Mets for Mike Scott, then was Nolan Ryan's 4000th strikeout victim.
2	Al Heist Cards	Outfield	Fifth pick in the regular phase of the '61 expansion draft played 27 games for the '62 Colts, with only one extra base hit, but was playing through '65 with AAA Oklahoma City, where he accumulated 109 RBIs.
2	Aaron Heitzman Cards	Pitcher	Led the 2003 Lexington Legends in innings pitched
9	TOMMY HELMS Cards	2nd Base	AAACK!! The Morgan trade! '66 ROY for the Reds was Opening Day starter for the Astros 1972 - 1974; Traded to Pittsburgh for a 29-year old Art Howe.
6	Jon Helquist Cards	Shortstop	Two minor-league all-star appearances for '99 Martinsville and 2001 Michigan.
1	Keith Helton Card	Pitcher	Signed as a five year minor league free agent, and umm, pitched in at Jackson in 1992
4	David Henderson Cards	2nd Base	Astros' third pick in the June, 1987 draft got plenty of chances, and was overmatched, everywhere he went, most notably at Osceola in 1990, where he hit .184 in 86 games
2	Steve Henderson Cards	Outfield	Pretty good player over a 1000-game (and 976-hit) major league career; just not, unfortunately, for the 1988 Astros
6	Mike Henneman Cards	Relief Pitcher	All-time Tiger leader in saves was contemplating retirement by the time the 'Stros got him, and managed just 8 saves and 21 innings pitched in 1995.
16	Randy Hennis Cards	Pitcher	First and only major league start (as well as third and last major league appearance) came in the last game of the season October 3, 1990. Gave up only one hit (a sixth-inning double to Ron Oester) and no runs. Was removed after the sixth with the Astros leading 2 - 0. Then Juan Agosto betrayed Hennis by giving up two, thus setting up Dave Smith for his 53rd and final major league win. Hennis was left with a 0.00 ERA in 9-2/3 innings for his major league career. A little like Cameron Drew in that you gotta wonder whatever happened to Hennis. I mean, he spent the following year at Tucson, but the '91 Astros--young, talented, and a certainty to finish last--couldn't give Hennis a shot? And why wasn't he back for '92? Oh well, at least Hennis became part of a board game.
5	Oscar Henriquez Cards	Pitcher	Traded with RHP Manuel Barrios and (eventually) RHP Mark Johnson to the Florida Marlins for OF Moises Alou on November 11, 1997. Henriquez had pitched in four games with a 4.50 ERA before the trade, and pitched in 15 games with an 8.55 for the Marlins in '98. I know Dave Dombrowski kinda had his hands tied behind his back, but the thing is, Oscar didn't even have good numbers in the minors . . .
6	Ralph Henriquez Cards	Catcher	Number Two pick in the June 2005 amateur draft out of Key West High began at Greeneville, but struggled some with the bat. Repeated in 2006, and struggled some more. Received a promotion to Lexington for '07, and struggled yet again. Traded to the Mets for lefthanded pitcher Josh Appell on November 28, 2007.
24	Butch Henry Cards	Pitcher	Inside the Park HR (!) vs Pirates 5/8/92. I will always remember a game Henry pitched April 19, 1992 vs. the Padres at home. Andy Benes (and he was real good, back then--he'd end the year with a 3.35 ERA) started for the Pads, and threw nine innings of shutout ball. But here's the thing: so did Henry. No-one then (or now) would put Butch Henry in the class of Andy Benes, but on that day, Henry would not yield. Benes gave up five hits and walked one, while Henry gave up seven hits and walked none. I seem to remember Henry being in trouble all day long, but he always worked out of it. The game went into extras tied at 0. Finally both managers pinch hit for their starters, and Xavier Hernandez ended up getting the decision over Rich Rodriguez as the Astros won 1 - 0 in 11. Henry would pitch in the majors til '99, but I would think that game was his finest hour.
2	Carlos Henry Cards	Infield/Oufield	Hit .097 for the Gulf Coast Astros in 1986, yet somehow managed to play until '89, when he maxed out at Asheville
6	Doug Henry Cards	Relief Pitcher	Actually rather effective at times, especially during the 1998 season, when he picked up eight wins and had a 3.04 ERA, Henry had become, by the time was traded to the Giants for triple-A caliber pitcher Scott Linebrink in July of 2000, notable almost exclusively for his firestarting properties.
11	Dwayne Henry Cards	Relief Pitcher	Middle reliever for the 1991 club was fast but straight. Got the win for pitching the 12th and 13th innings of Darryl Kile's first start April 24, 1991.
1	Russ Herbert Card	Pitcher	Pitched 2000 at Round Rock
1	Geysi Heredia Card	Pitcher	5 - 1 with a 1.25 for the 1984 Gulf Coast Astros; got as high as the FSL Osceola squad in 1986.
20	Carlos Hernandez Cards	2nd Base/Shortstop	Quad City/Jackson/New Orleans player 95-00 was traded to Seattle for Carlos Maldonado on March 21 of 2000. After the trade, Hernandez took the edge in major league games played, 2 - 0.
61	Carlos Hernandez Cards	Pitcher	17-2/3 scoreless innings to begin major league career; First loss came in his eleventh ML game. Also pitched a no-hitter in the minors.
2	Enrique Hernandez Cards	2nd Baseman	Sixth round pick in the June 2009 draft from Toa Baja, PR finished third in hits in the Gulf Coast League that summer
2	Fernando Hernandez Cards	Pitcher	Starter who led the Cal league in K/IP for 1993, pitched two games for Detroit in 1997, and won twelve games at Monterrey of the Mexican league in 1998, split time between Round Rock and New Orelans in 2000.
1	Hector Hernandez Card	Outfield	Looks like Choice sportscards called him 'Hector' and said he was born 9/26/81, while the Greeneville Astros said he was named Jose, and was born 8/22/84. Either way, looks like he hit .264 in 32 games for the 2004 Appalachian League champions.
3	Javier Hernandez Cards	Pitcher	Reliever from Humacao, Puerto Rico spent time at Gulf Coast, Asheville, and Osceola between 1990 and 1992.
11	Manny Hernandez Cards	Pitcher	Long minor league career began in the Gulf Coast league at Sarasota in 1979. Spent three years at Daytona Beach, including the '81 FSL championship year, and '83, when Hernandez was 10 - 3 with a 2.99 in 102.0 innings. After two and a half years at Tucson, Houston brought him up in June of 1986; he pitched in 9 games with a 2-3 record and a 3.90 ERA. In '87 he split time again between the PCL and the NL, but the major league ERA ballooned to 5.40. '88 was spent exclusively at Tucson, and at the end of the year he was signed as a minor-league free agent by the Mets. He pitched one inning for New York in 1989 . . .and there the trail ends. That's his story, and this is his one major-league card.
2	Pedro (J.) Hernandez Cards	Infield/Outfield	Was an infielder when he played for the '78 Daytona squad, then got traded to Toronto in November of '78 with JJ Cannon and Mark Lemongello for Alan Ashby. Mostly played at AAA Syracuse and AA Knoxville, though he got 9 at bats for Toronto in '79 and '82. No hits, but did score a run. The Astros must've signed him back as a minor league free agent in the offseason after 1984, and he played outfield for the '85 Tucson Toros and Columbus Astros.
5	Runelvys Hernandez Card	Pitcher	Free agent righthander previously in the Royals "organization" made four ineffective starts for the Astros in 2008, most disastrously on July 7, when he gave up 10 runs on 13 hits and four walks in four innings at Pittsburgh. Second in starts at Round Rock that year, where he posted a 4.91 ERA to go with 8 wins.
50	Xavier Hernandez Cards	Relief Pitcher	X-man--a title or a curse?
1	Hector Herrera Card	Infield	1986 at Sarasota (.238-0-2) and 1987 at Auburn (.224-0-11)
3	Ed Herrmann Cards	Catcher	All-Star in 1974 for the White Sox caught Dierker's no-hitter--and batted .291 in 56 games in 1977.
2	Steve Hertz Cards	Third Base	Three year-minor leaguer in the mid-60's Houston system went hitless in four at bats for the Colt .45's in 1964, but did score two runs as a pinch runner. He shared the 1964 Topps # 544 with Joe Hoerner, and finally got his own cards in 2003 with the Jewish Major Leaguers set.
1	John Hessler Card	Pitcher	Five year minor leaguer pitched a no-hitter for the '77 Gulf Coast club, then got as high as AA Columbus (for whom he appeared on his 1980 baseball card), and compiled a 23 - 29 minor league record

---

Hi

CARDS I HAVE	PLAYER	POSITION	REMARKS
4	Jack Hiatt Cards	Catcher/Manager	Marginal major leaguer--at least with the bat--played in 79 games for the '71 and '72 big league club and collected 53 hits. Would resurface in the organization again in 1983, when he would manage the Southern League Columbus Astros.
1	Phil Hiatt Card	Outfield	Hit his 300th minor league homer for the New Orleans Zephyrs on June 15, 2004
17	Jim Hickey Cards	Pitcher/Coach	"The Iceman" ended an eight-year minor league career with the Columbus Astros in 1989, then began a career as pitching coach that has seen stops at Burlington, Asheville, Jackson, and New Orleans. You had to feel good for Mr. Hickey on July 14, 2004, when he was promoted from AAA New Orleans to replace the fired Burt Hooton as pitching coach of the major league club. But when he was dismissed after the 2006 season, not so much.
2	Chris Hicks Card	Pitcher	14th round draft pick in 2008 signed late and only pitched in six games for Tri-City that year. Lancaster JetHawks Pitcher of the Month for April 2009
2	Ralph Hicks Cards	Pitcher	17th round selection of the Astros in the 2000 draft out of Centenary; his 2001 Pittsfield Astros card tells us his nickname is "the Grave-Digger."
419	RICHARD HIDALGO Cards	Outfield	Go the other way,Richard!
7	Chris Hill Cards	Pitcher	Minor-league free agent was 16 - 7 with a 2.93 in the pitcher-friendly FSL for the Osceola Astros in 1992. The 16 was good enough to lead the league, and got him a spot on the All-Star team
26	Mike Hill Cards	Outfielder	1999 New-York Penn-League All-Star and August 2000 SAL Player of the Month hit .300 at Michigan in 2000 and at Lexington in 2001. Appears to have left baseball after splitting 2004 between AA Round Rock and AAA New Orleans
1	Drew Himes Card	Infield	19th round pick in the June 2005 draft out of Illinois Wesleyan went 3 - 0 with a 6.37 for Tri-City that summer
1	Bob Hinson Card	Infield	Pat Doyle and the Old Time Database call him "Bobby Joe," but to the ever-conservative TCMA, he was simply "Bob." Hit .292 for the '82 Auburn Astros with 12 ribbies, then hit .286 with 30 RBI's for Asheville in 1983.
39	Jason Hirsh Cards	Catcher	Second round pick in the June 2003 draft made a strong debut for the Tri-City Valleycats, going 3 - 1 with a 1.95. Went 13 - 8 with a 2.87 at Corpus Christi in 2005, and transformed himself from a good prospect into the organization's best. Texas League Pitcher of the Year in 2005, PCL Pitcher of the year in 2006, and traded to the Rockies as part of a package to get the disappointment Jason Jennings for 2007.
1	Matt Hirsh Card	Pitcher	Jason's little brother was picked in the 30th round of the 2005 draft, and went 1 - 2 with a 5.61 at Greeneville that year, finishing fourth on the team in innings pitched and giving up a team-high 8 homers. Released before Jason was traded.
2	Victor Hithe Cards	Outfield	His .302 with 53 ribbies for the '87 Asheville Tourists wasn't quite good enough to make the Sally All-Star team--Junior Felix and hard-hittin' Mark Whiten got two of the nods instead. Traded with pitcher Dave Johnson on 3/31/89 to the Mets for AAAA guy/backup catcher Carl Nichols

Ho

CARDS I HAVE	PLAYER	POSITION	REMARKS
5	Todd Hobson Cards	Outfield	Had a good career at the University of Arkansas, but not with the Auburn Astros or the Asheville Tourists
2	Kevin Hodge Cards	Outfield	Twins' 19th round pick in the 1998 June draft was 1 - 4 with a 5.48 for the 2005 Corpus Christi Hooks and 0 - 0 with a 3.68 for that same year's Round Rock club before being named as the PTBNL in a trade to the Phillies June 16
2	Kerry Hodges Cards	Outfield	First professional season was with Martinsville in 2001 and he hit .246 with 43 strikeouts in 49 games. Called back for 2002 and assigned to Michigan, he hit .251 with 74 strikeouts and 20 walks
2	Kevin Hodges Cards	Pitcher	Started for Jackson during the '98 and '99 seasons, traded to the Mariners for Matt Mieske
2	John Hoffman Cards	Catcher	Signed by the Colt .45's before the 1963 season and sent to Modesto, Hoffman tied John Paciorek for fourth on the club in homers. Played at Durham, Oklahoma City, and Houston as a 20-year old in 1964, making his major league debut July 30. His One Year Winner Card says "Returned to the minors in 1964, he was instrumental in the development of Houston pitchers for several years as a player-coach."
2	Mike Hogan Cards	Pitcher	Led the New York-Penn league in ERA for 1982 with Auburn, then finished second in wins--to Evil Voodoo Doctor Jose Rijo--in the FSL while with Daytona for 1983. Pitched a couple of average years at AA Columbus in '84 and '85 to finish up his career.
2	Hector Hernandez Card	Outfield	Then-Director of Player Personnel Paul Ricciarini said this 16th round pick in the June 2006 draft looked like "Chris Burke's twin"--but we won't hold that against him..
1	Mike Holland Card	1st Base	Went 1 for 5 with an RBI and a run scored in Dave Aloi's 1973 no-hitter for Covington. Also played for Cedar Rapids in 1974, hitting .258 with 7 RBI's.
3	Sid Holland Cards	Coach	Coached three teams in two years--Auburn, Kissimmee, and Quad city, in 1997 and 1998.
2	Juan Holleday Cards	Pitcher	Could not cut the mustard for the 1992 Auburn Astros
5	Brian Holliday Cards	Pitcher	Astros' fourth round selection in the June '91 draft out of Anchorage, Alaska was so-so for the '91 Auburn club, then awful for Burlington in 1992. For whatever reason, he got a shot with High A Osceola in '93, and we can assume that, also, did not go well.
6	Jarrod Holloway Cards	Pitcher	10th round pick in June 2008 was 0 - 5 in 13 games with a 4.07 for the '08 Tri-City ValleyCats and missed '09 after elbow surgery
63	Chris Holt Cards	Pitcher	Fourth round pick in the '92 draft went 11 - 10 with a 2.27 for Quad City in 1993. Later he would go 2- 2 with a 1.87 for the '95 Jackson Generals. But this hard luck perhaps found its best expression in 1997, when - in a year where the average National League ERA was 4.00--he went 8 - 12 with a 3.52. Was more junky than hard luck in '99 and 2000, but Chris is more deserving of our compassion than our scorn. And of course, the hard luck continued after he was traded to the Tigers.
1	Brett Holum Card	Infield	I think the '90 ProCards issue really gives one the best idea of what a beautiful place to play baseball Asheville's McCormick Park really is.
1	Mike Hook Card	Pitcher	Second selection in the June '86 draft--as most second round picks do--got plenty of chances, but got no higher than single A Asheville in 1988. I guess he was pretty good with Gulf Coast in '86.
6	Burt Hooton Cards	Coach	150-game winner for Cubs and Dodgers--as well as author of an April 1972 major league no-hitter--was hired as pitching coach by Nolan Ryan at Round Rock for 2000; the following year, he replaced Vern Ruhle at the major league level. The first half swoon in 2004--not much aided by Andy Pettitte's unavailability--after huge preseason expectations cost him his job on July 14, 2004, when he was replaced by Jim Hickey. Four years as pitching coach at Round Rock followed.
1	Clint Hoover Card	1st Base	U-Cal graduate debuted for Pittsfield in 2001 and eneded his career at Tri-City the next
1	Steve Hoover Card	Outfield	33rd Round pick in '99 did not advance from that year's Auburn squad
4	Neder Horta Cards	Shortstop	Received from the Yankees with Jim Deshaies and Dody Rather for Joe Niekro on September 15, 1985. Horta would play with little distinction until 1988, getting as high as A Asheville.
4	Stan Hough Cards	Coach	Acquired in the deal that sent minor league catcher Bruce Bochy to the Mets on February 11, 1981, Hough would approach the Mendoza line for AA Columbus in '81 and '82 as a player before being enlisted as a coach for Daytona in '83 and '84 and Tucson in '85.
6	DJ Houlton Cards	Pitcher	Originally picked out of high school by the Mariners in 1997, Houlton instead attended the University of the Pacific, and was then made the 11th round choice of the Astros in 2001. At Martinsville that year he was 5 - 4 with a 2.50. He had a complete game and a .240 BA against, and he was named one of the league's top prospects for his efforts. Was a Texas League Top Prospect after 2004, as well. Taken as Rule V draftee by the Dodgers after his 2004 season at Round Rock, Houlton won six games for Los Angeles in 2005.
1	Scott Houp Card	Outfield	Never hit higher than .228 at three levels between 1983 and 1985. Was, however, a member of the 1984 South Atlantic League champions Asheville Tourists.
4	JR House Cards	Catcher	Signed as a minor league free agent January of 2006, House began the 2006 season at AA Corpus Christi, but got two promotions, and got into four games with Houston. Had an 1.121 OPS for Round Rock in 31 games. Signed again by the Astros for 2008, and was assigned to Round Rock, where he hit .306. Perhaps separated at birth from Koopa Paratroopa.
	Pat House Cards	Pitcher	Drafted from the Braves organization by the Astros in the November 1966 minor league draft, this left handed reliever spent 1967 with Oklahoma City, and went 7 - 4 with a 2.04 while striking out 99 in 97 innings. That earned him a September callup, where he got into six games for Houston, winning one and losing none with a 4.50 ERA. He began 1968 at OKC again, getting called up and sent down again in June, then coming back up to stay mid-July. Overall, he was 3 - 1 with a 1.80 for the '89ers in '68, and 1 - 1 with a 7.71 for the Astros. Was 9 - 9 with a strong 2.57 for Oklahoma in 1969 before being traded to the Reds for Jim Beauchamp on December 16, 1969.
1	Paul Householder Card	Outfield	Two runs and a hit for the '87 Houston team, but his only card appearance is in the '87 Jones Photo Tucson Toros set
2	Ken Houston Cards	Trainer	Great name
1	Kevin Houston Card	Pitcher	Great name might have helped him pitch a seven-inning no-hitter for Gulf Coast in 1977, but didn't help him get higher than the Florida State League within the Astro organization. Neither did switching from pitching to position-playing after we traded him to Pittsburgh with others for Phil Garner. Had a 108.00 ERA for Buffalo in 1982.
5	Thomas Howard Cards	Outfield	Free-agent signing on 12/4/96 hit .247 for the '97 squad, playing in 107 games
11	WILBUR HOWARD Cards	Outfield	Good Times Bad Times: Led off Opening Day '76 after a fairly solid 1975 campaign, in which he was eighth in the NL with 32 stolen bases and hit .283. Ever-declining production for the big club through 1978 left him at Charleston for 1979, and at Yucatan (Mexican League) for the duration of his career afer that.
51	ART HOWE Cards	1st/3rd Base/Mgr	Acquired straightup for Tommy Helms, this former manager for the Astros held the club hit streak record for many years. The cards, as always, tell a story, too.
3	Jack Howell Cards	1st Base	61 games, 71 at bats and 18 hits for the 98 - 99 big club. About what you expect for a back up to Jeff Bagwell in his prime.

CARDS I HAVE	PLAYER	POSITION	REMARKS
10	Trent Hubbard Cards	2nd Base	When this ex-Astro farmhand reached the majors with the Rockies, he would start calling himself 'Trenidad.' Got as high as AAA Tucson with the 'Stros, then had major-league career with nine teams, accumulating 196 hits and 16 home runs between 1994 and 2003. A non-roster invitee for the 2005 Astros, Hubbard did well in Grapefruit League action, but was sent to Round Rock, and later asked for his release after a lackluster start at AAA.
1	Chris Huchingson Card	Pitcher	10 - 5 with a 3.13 for the '85 Tourists, then a year with Osceola in 1986
73	John Hudek Cards	Relief Pitcher	Fast but straight. His appearance in the 1994 All-Star game after having started the year at AAA Tucson remains one of the most startling success stories in club history. But in the end, what everyone told him in the minors before 1994 was true: he needed a second effective out pitch, especially after his fastball began losing velocity in 1995. His rapid rise, however, produced some really cool cards.
1	Dave Hudgens Card	Coach	Roving batting instructor after 1990 became hitting coach at Jackson, then disappeared off the Astromap
2	Max Hudgson Cards	Outfield	AKA Maximiliano for the 2003 Martinsville and 2004 Greeneville 'Stros
3	Casey Hudspeth Cards	Pitcher	Righthander with an assortment of pitches out of the University of South Florida began his career as a fourth starter at Tri-City in 2006 and at Lexington in '07. 4 - 7 with a 3.96 for the '08 Avalanche
11	Aubrey Huff Card	3rd Base/Right Field	Acquired from the Devil Rays for Ben Zobrist and Mitch Talbot on July 12, 2006, Huff was neither a rousing success nor a stunning failure for the Astros.
16	Royce Huffman Cards	3rd Base	Appy League Top Prospect for '99 began with a rapid rise, but has stalled in the high minors, spending all of '01 and '02 at Round Rock and all of '03 and '04 at New Orleans; played in the 2004 Triple A All-Star game
1	Justin Huisman Card	Pitcher	Major leaguer with the Royals in '04 pitched 8 innings with a n 11.25 ERA for the '06 Express
9	Rick Huisman Cards	Relief Pitcher	Dominant minor-league closer for the Giants blew out his arm and was released. The Astros picked him up and after a short stint at Tucson in 1993, he was pretty dominant again for Jackson in 1994 -- 3-0 with 31 saves (out of a possible 33) and a 1.61 ERA were his contributions to the the '94 Texas League Eastern Division champs. In August of '95, the Astros traded him to the Royals for Pat Borders. It was with the Royals that Huisman made his major-league appearances, but by the end of '97, he was let go, and picked up by the Giants again. After a year at AAA Fresno, the Astros got him, and had him pitch two years at New Orleans. By then a set-up guy, he was 3-1 with a 3.32 for New Orleans in '99, and 3 - 5 with a 3.48 for the 2000 Zephyrs
5	Rich Humphrey Cards	Pitcher	57th Round Pick spent four years in the minors, led the 1995 Kissimmee Cobras in appearances, saves, and ERA, and bridefly got as high as AAA Tucson in 1996.
1	Terry Humphrey Cards	Catcher	Acquired in the deal that sent Dave A Roberts the excellent pitcher, Milt May and Jim Crawford to the Tigers for Leon K Roberts the slightly-less-than-average outfielder, Gene Pentz, Mark Lemongello, and of course Humphrey. Acquired in December of '75, he was gone by the end of the first week of June after having spent a couple months at AAA Memphis. In the Astros organization for six months, he never played a game with Houston, yet was captured on his 1976 SSPC # 373.
5	Justin Humphries Cards	Catcher	22nd-round pick in the 2001 draft hit .225 at Martinsville in 2001 but was brought back for 2002. Since, he has been remarkably consistent averagewise: he hit .265 in 2002, .269 for Lexington in '03, and .269 for Lexington in '04. Starting off for Salem in '05 didn't go so well: demoted to Lexington, Humphries returned to form and hit .270 for the '05 Legends.
1	Jordan Hunt Card	Pitcher	Acquired as a DFE, whatever that is, in 1999 and pitched for the 2000 Martinsville team.
12	Bert Hunter Cards	Outfield/Coach	Second pick in the 1985 draft broke in with that year's Sarasota (Gulf Coast) Astros, and in a career within the Astro minor league system that spanned seven years, twice stole 50 bases in a season, but only once hit over .250. That once was in 1987 on a pretty darned good Asheville Tourists team. Hunter was traded to the Mets sometime in 1991 off of the Jackson AA roster, and returned to Mississippi in 1997 to serve as hitting coach for the Generals.
172	BRIAN L HUNTER Cards	Outfield	A great minor-league player who became an average major league one. Hit .372 for the 94 AAA Tucson Toros, but despite leading the AL in steals twice, his best years were on the farm. But is there anything wrong with that?
4	Bob Hurlbutt Cards	Catcher	Catcher had an anemic BA for the '90 Auburn Astros and the '91 Tourists
2	Jake Hurry Card	Catcher	2 - 3 in 12 starts for the 2005 Greeneville Astros and 1 - 0 with a 3.80 for the 2006 Tri-City ValleyCats
9	Bob Hurta Cards	Pitcher	After blowing his arm out in the Phillies organization--and not pitching at all in 1989--re-entered baseball at short season Auburn when the 'Stros signed him as a free agent at the age of 25 in 1990. Was at AAA Tucson by 1992, where he had a sub 3.00 ERA in 20 games.
1	Mark Hutton Card	Pitcher	Well-traveled AAA hand born in Adelaide, Australia
4	Matt Hyers Cards	Shortstop
4	Cole Hyson Cards	Pitcher	His 1991 Classic/Best Osceola Astros # 4 actually shows Todd Jones
