    Turn off ad blocker. It kept trying to re-load the same ads and bogged me down.

    211. I got all of 1999, 2004-2009, 2017-2018. Missed only 1 in 1998, 2000, 2001.

    Missing Sean Berry & Bill Spiers is pretty disappointing.

    Who the **** is Bill Hall?

    Bill Hall hit 35 bombs one year for the brewers. He played a while.

    I recognize him with the Brewers, but his brief Astros career made no impression on me apparently. And I'm remembering the likes of Steve Pearce, Justin Ruggiano, Jason Smith, Edwin Maysonet.

    I watched so much of the bad years, and yet I've blacked out so much of it from my memory apparently. I know '91 better than '12

    I got 199. I gave up earlier than I should have needing to get back to work. Disappointed to miss ensberg, Ricky Gutierrez and pence.

    I got 199 too. Kicking myself for Lane, Wily T, Alou, Pence. Easily spent 5 minutes trying to figure out Aoki to no avail.

    How could you miss the greatest 3B platoon in Astros history? Garner and Walling ain't got **** on those guys.

    Vinny Castilla was awesome as well for half a year.

    Does anyone really remember '98 Dave Clark? '97 with the ****ing Cubs he was the best pinch hitter almost ever, then the Stros signed him the next year.

    I got 223.

    I too kept up during the dead seasons, and completely f**king forgot some of them. Brian Boguesvic, Brandon Barnes, and Ronny Cedendo, I mean seriously WTF. I don't remember Bill Hall and Angel Sanchez playing for us either.

    91 and 92 predate my fandom, so I missed a few of those. Was basically 100% from 93-2010, only missed Greg Zaun and Pat Listach.
