The Houston Astros are banking heavily on top performances from Bob Aspromonte and Rusty Staub to help propel the club into the first division in 1966. Bob Aspromonte, a product of the Dodgers' farm chain, set a record when he played 57 consecutive ballgames at third base without committing an error in 1962. The infielder set a club record when he cracked 7 straight hits for Houston. Bob's older brother, Ken, is a former major leaguer. The two Aspromonte boys graduated from the same high school as pitching ace Sandy Koufax. Young Rusty Staub spent only one year in the minors before joining Houston in 1963. A former Topps All-Star rookie, Rusty hit .263 last year and was second on the club in RBIs. A natural athlete, the first baseman was named Louisiana Schoolboy of the Year.
