Former Astros with birthdays today:
LHP Floyd Bluford "Butch" Henry (45)
If my name was Floyd Bluford, I'd go by Butch too! Originally drafted by the Reds in the 15th round in 1987, Henry came to Houston in September 1990 as a part of the Bill Doran trade with the Reds. Two years later, he was drafted from Houston by the Rockies in the 1992 expansion draft. In 28 starts in 1992, he went 6-9 with a 4.02 ERA and a 1.364 WHIP.
Manager Grady Hatton (died April 11, 2013 at age 90)
Hatton managed the Astros in 1966, 1967 and part of 1968, with a record of 164-221.
