Happy Birthday - 6/15

IF Jake Elmore (26)
Drafted by the Diamondbacks in the 34th round in 2008, Elmore came to the Astros organization as a waiver claim in November 2012. In three games with the major league club so far this season, Elmore hit .364/.364/.455. He is currently playing in Oklahoma City where he has hit .279/.364/.403 with 11 doubles, 4 triples, 3 home runs and 13 stolen bases in 58 games.

No future Astros and only one former Astro with a birthday today ~

LHP Andy Pettitte (41)
Originally drafted by the Yankees in the 22nd round in 1990, Pettitte came to Houston as a free agent signing in  December of 2003 and pitched for the Astros from 2004 to 2006, going 37-26 with a 3.38 ERA and a 1.230 WHIP. He did a bunch of good stuff for the Yankees before he came to Houston and after he left. He retired; he unretired. He used human growth hormone and fessed up about it. He said Clemens did something dicey too, but he might have misremembered. Yada yada.
