Nice quiz. Such a shame that baseball trivia is viewed with such disdain here. It clearly isn't as important as Harry Potter crap, which no human can exist without.

Couldn't remember Billy Wagner.

I mean, you can't omit the thing for which the Astros are most famous. Need those trash cans.

Generous use of the word "defeated" in the last clue XP
