The Houston Astros are a Major League Baseball team based in Houston , Texas . They are among the six teams in the Central Division of the National League (NL). Astros joined the New York Mets in the first National League expansion. The Astros now play in the Central Division of the National League. The team was founded in 1962 and was known as Houston Colt .45s (1962-1964). The team came to be known as the Astros when they started playing in the Houston Astrodome in 1965. In 1969, Harry "The Hat" Walker took over as the manager of the team and guided Astros to a winning streak.
