History: Houston was the only city among the first four MLB expansion franchises to never previously host MLB baseball. The city was without a park suitable for major league ball, and the Colt .45s hastily built a temporary ballpark adjacent to where their future home, the Astrodome, would be constructed. Colt Stadium was known for its heat and humidity, and although the Colts started out with promise by sweeping the Cubs in their first three games, the team finished in ninth place, above only their fellow expansionists, the New York Mets. After three seasons the Houston club finally moved into baseball’s first dome and changed their name to the Astros. Another first came in 2013 when the Astros were shifted to the American League after half a century of being in the NL.
