Houston Astros Baseball Club
 PROFILE
The Astros crashed back down to Earth in 2000 after closing out the 1990s by winning the National League Central division three straight years. The ball club left the Astrodome for the new $248 million Enron Field in 2000 and promptly gave up a rash of home runs and collapsed to fourth place. The team will try to rebound in 2001 with the help of All Star slugger Jeff Bagwell. The Astros, which joined the National League as the Colt .45s in the expansion of 1962, have yet to win the NL pennant. Owner Drayton McLane bought the team for $115 million in 1992 from John McMullen, who also owned the New Jersey Devils at the time.
