No future Astros, only former Astros with birthdays today ~
OF Nate Colbert (68)
Obtained by Houston from the Cardinals in the Rule 5 draft in 1965, Colbert was drafted from Houston by the Padres in the 1968 expansion draft. In the interim, he played in 39 games for Houston in 1966 and 1968. He went on to be a three-time All-Star for the Padres.

IF Mike Brumley (51)
Originally drafted by Boston in the 2nd round of the 1983 draft, Brumley came to Houston as a free agent in 1993. He had a total of 29 plate appearances in 26 major league games for Houston in 1993 and 1995 (spending 1994 in Oakland). His minor league numbers in 1993 were quite impressive as he hit .353/.419/.471 in 96 games, but his composite batting average for the big league club was less than inspiring. He is currently the assistant hitting coach for the Cubs.
RHP Dennis Sarfate (33)

In 7 games for Houston, he was 1-0 with a 1.08 ERA and a 0.720 WHIP. After three seasons in the Baltimore organization, Sarfate took his career to Japan where he is currently in his fourth season.
