Happy Birthday - 9/14

C Jon Carnahan (23)
Born in Nederland, Texas and a product of Delta State (MS), Carnahan signed with the Astros as a non-drafted free agent in 2012. In 13 games for the Gulf Coast League Astros, he hit .250/.289/.306, made no errors and had a 33% caught stealing rate.

One former Astro with a birthday today:

LHP Frank Carpin (74)
After pitching for Pittsburgh in 1965 (3-1, 4 saves and a 3.18 ERA), Carpin was picked up by the Astros in the Rule 5 draft. He only appeared in 10 games for the Astros in 1966, compiling a 7.50 ERA and a 2.500 WHIP, and he played his last major league game on September 3, 1966.
