The book begins with the Houston Astros officially announcing joining the NL in 1962. The team was initially founded as the Houston Colt .45s, but was renamed the Houston Astros three years later after moving to the Astrodome. It would be over forty years later that the team would experience its first World Series! This happened in 2005 when they played the Chicago White Sox, known to be quite a controversial series since the MLB commissioner Bud Selig declared the games to be played with the stadium roof open. Many people thought this nulled the enthusiastic Astros fans as they cheered for their team, and Chicago won 4-0.
After finishing a season twelve years later with over 100 wins for just the second time in their history, they defeated the LA Dodgers 4-3, winning their first ever World Series title.
