Just read that "the Astros have not won the World Series in 55 years." How about EVER! Love watching history being made (hopefully). 3 knucklebiting games so far.

The team was established in 1962 as the Colt 45s. When the Astrodome opened in 1965 they changed the name to the Astros. Prior to '62, Houston only had a minor league team, the Buffalos (aka Buffs).
