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.

Astros Coffee Talk Name that player!
Altuve posted the third-highest OPS of his career in 2022 while winning his sixth Silver Slugger Award - second only to Ryne Sandberg (seven) among keystone staffers. He punished southpaws with a 1.086 OPS, homering once every 14.1. at-bats against them.
Who is it?
In his last full season (2012), Jon cracked .284-21-79 with 88 walks for Corpus Christi to garner Texas League All-Star kudos. An elite prospect, Singleton opened '14 like gangbusters by mashing .421-4-13 over a nine-game span in April.
Who is it?
A SiriusXM All-Star Futures Game selection in 2021, it seemed only a matter of time before Pedro made his way to the big leagues. He honed his skills in the Minor Leagues for three more seasons before appearing in his first MLB game on August 3. León ripped a 107.5-mph single in his maiden plate...

Back to the Front! Astros card back du jour...
Chuck Harrison
Chuck was brought up to the Houston Club for the last month of the 1965 season. On Sept. 26, he cracked a three-run homer against the Cincinnati Reds and virtually knocked them out of the pennant race. The powerfully built ex-football star from Texas Tech started the 1966 campaign in the minors but was quickly recalled after a fine showing. Although only with the Houston Club part of the season, Chuck was among the club leaders in doubles, home runs and runs batted in. Watch for him in '67.
Chuck led the Texas League in homers in 1964. In 1965 Chuck led the P.C.L. in fielding.
