No future Astros with birthdays today, but one former Astro was born on this day ~
SS/3B Marty Martinez (died March 8, 2007 at 65)
Martinez came to the Houston organization in a December 1968 trade that sent Bob Aspromonte to Atlanta. In 185 games over three seasons for the Astros, Martinez hit .268/.305/.320. The Cuban born Martinez managed for the Rangers and the Mariners organizations in the minors for several years and served as interim manager for the Mariners for one game in 1986 for a career major league managerial record of 0-1.
