Happy Birthday - 9/20

Happy Birthday to ~

Astros Announcer Bill "Brownie" Brown (67)
An announcer for the Astros since 1987, Brown has become a beloved fixture in the Astros broadcast booth. He also collaborated with Mike Acosta on this great photographic history of the Astros and their journey from inception to their first World Series appearance in 2005 - Houston Astros: Deep in the Heart, and published a memoir, My Baseball Journey, in 2012.

One former Astro celebrates the day as well ~

SS Angel Sanchez (31)
Angel was originally drafted by the Royals in the 11th round in 2001 out of Puerto Rico and came to Houston in a trade with the Red Sox in July 2010. In 175 games as an Astro in 2010 and 2011, he hit .258/.310/.314. After starting the 2014 season in Independent League ball, he signed with the Dodgers in June and played in their minor league system for the rest of the season.
