No future Astros with birthdays today, but several former Astros mark the day ~
OF Derek Bell (46)
A second round pick by the Blue Jays in 1987, Bell came to Houston from San Diego in a December 1994 trade. Bell played for Houston from 1995 to 1999 and compiled a batting line of .284/.341/.430 in 683 games as an Astro. He had 153 doubles, ten triples, 74 home runs, 444 RBI's and 102 stolen bases. In nine games of post-season play from 1997 to 1999, he only managed an .094 batting average. He got his one World Series ring in 1992 with the Blue Jays.
OF Thomas Howard (50)
Originally drafted by the Padres in the first round in 1986, Howard signed with Houston as a free agent in December 1996. In 107 games for the Astros in 1997, he hit .247/.323/.353.

Brown spent a total of 14 seasons in the major leagues. His 1960 season in Baltimore, when he went 12-5 in 30 games (20 starts) with a 3.06 ERA and a 1.113 WHIP, was probably his best year.
