No future Astros with birthdays today, but a couple of former Astros celebrate today ~
IF Jake Elmore (27)
Drafted by the Diamondbacks in the 34th round in 2008, Elmore came to the Astros organization as a waiver claim in November 2012. In 52 games for Houston in 2013, Elmore hit .242/.313/.325. He was selected off waivers from Houston by the White Sox in November 2013 and was subsequently dealt to Oakland.
LHP Andy Pettitte (42)
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.
