    As I am researching my All Time Astros roster, I am remembering and learning all kinds of interesting facts.

    I thought it would be fun to ask some trivia questions.

    Duh! Can’t believe I forgot that. For some reason I don’t associate Morgan with the Colt .45s but with Astros

    Wait, there's somebody in another one?

    If such a thing existed, Jim Bouton would be in the Sports Literature HOF

    So is Doc Gooden.

    If Halladay is in the HOF, Gooden and Fernando should be too.
