Astros Card of the Day

Bob Watson

Originally a catcher, Bob now concen- trates most of his efforts in playing the outfield. He has fine power and is attempting to comeback from a broken ankle which sidelined him since last July.

Name that player!

John was signed as a free agent in 1962. The following season he led the Houston club in Home Runs, Runs Batted In, and Triples. A fine young prospect, John is rapidly developing as a top-flight receiver. John feels that he's ready to assume all the catching duties for Houston in 1966.
