Happy Birthday - 9/25

LHP Geronimo Franzua (18)
Yes, it is one of the cooler names in the Astros minor league system.  Franzua, despite going 0-6 in his debut season with the DSL Astros, did pretty well, particularly considering that he was only 17.  Over 10 starts, this non-drafted free agent from the Dominican Republic, pitched 39.1 innings with a 4.12 ERA.

Four former Astros have birthdays today:

UT IF Ray Busse (63)
Played for Houston in 1971 and again in 1973 and 1974

RHP Mike Stanton (59)
Played for Houston in 1975

RHP Ron Mathis (53)
Played for Houston in 1985 and again in 1987

RHP David Weathers (42)
Played for Houston in 2004
