    Played 150 games as a 19 year old for the Colt .45s. The first bad trade for the Astros. Terrible decision by Kuhn to allow the trade to go through even though Clendenon refused to report to the Astros.

    Rest in peace, Rusty

    Man the Astros had some young talent back then that they traded away.

    1B Lee Mayberry
    2b Joe Morgan
    SS Denis Menke
    3B Doug Rader
    LF Bob Watson
    CF Cesar Cedeno/ Cesar Geronimo
    RF Jimmy Wynn/ Rusty Staub

    SP Mike Cuellar/Jack Billingham
    RP Dave Guisti

    What could've been. Spec Richardson gave away the future.

    Hopefully history doesn't repeat itself because this team has that kind of talent.

    RIP Rusty Staub
