In 1986 the Houston Astros won the National League Western Division title with a regular-season record of 99-66 their third division crown in seven seasons. Although they lost in the N.L.C.S. in six games to the eventual World Series Champion New York Mets it was a memorable season on many fronts including the fact that the Astros hosted the Mid-Summer Classic on July 15 at the Astrodome. One of the mainstays of that years team was a then 39-year-old Nolan Ryan. The star right-hander went 12-8 on the season recorded a 3.34 ERA and fanned 194 batters along the way.
