Talk about youngsters making the big leagues in a hurry, Chris was hurling for the Colts last year as a 19 year old rookie. The tall right-hander has never pitched in a minor league game, as he gained his diamond experience with an American Legion baseball team in Knoxville Tennessee. Chris figures heavily in the Houston Youth Movement.



Harry has high hopes for the new Houston Colts, one of the National League's two new clubs this season. The ex-outfielder last managed in the American League in '59 with Kansas City. Last year Harry was one of the coaches with the Chicago Cubs. Manager Craft spent 6 seasons in the major leagues, playing with the Cincinnati Reds from 1937 till 1942. Not known as one of the most feared hitters, Harry did have some fine seasons during his career. In 1935, his first season in organized ball, the speedy outfielder hit .317. With Waterloo in 1937, Harry hit a torrid .358 before getting the call to the big time. Near the end of his playing days in 1947, the righthanded hitter batted .315 in the A.A. Harry enjoys working with young talent and he should do well with the youthful Colts.



George broke into the minors with Shelby in the Tar Heel League in 1953. The southpaw veteran had his winningest year with Little Rock, notching 14 decisions.
