After eight seasons with the Yankees in which Pepitone was a three-time All-Star and a three-time Gold Glove winner, he came to Houston in a December 1969 trade. He only played in 75 games for Houston in 1970 before being picked up by the Cubs. During his time in Houston, he hit .252/.298/.470 with nine doubles, five triples and 14 home runs.
