Happy Birthday ~

In his first season at AA Corpus Christi this year, he is hitting .244/.334/.459 with 19 doubles, two triples, 18 home runs and 52 RBI. In his last 10 games he is hitting .300/.300/.650 with a triple, four home runs and 10 RBI.

OF Jesus de la Rosa (60)
An NDFA signing by Houston from the Dominican Republic in 1969, de la Rosa's entire career consisted of three pinch hit appearances for the Astros in August 1975. His cup of coffee would give him a .333/.333/.667 batting line as his only hit happened to be a double. He also scored a run.
