    3.Biggio
    4.Bagwell

    5.Nolan (wasn't here as long, and spent more time wearing other jerseys than an Astros jersey)

    Hakeem
    Earl Campbell
    Biggio
    Foster(to me he has been the most important player of the current Texans franchise...also you could probably put someone from the older Rockets/Texans here but I wanted someone from each of the major teams we have had here)

    You guys shouldn't underestimate the younger crowd. Andre Johnson will slip in there at some point. Alot of Houston is not old enough to remember Earl and those guys.

    Josh Smith Game 2 Mavs game performance would absolutely be on the Houston WTF Moments Mount Rushmore, though.
