1962 Houston Colt .45s season
Encyclopedia
The Houston Colt .45s
season was a season in American baseball, and the first season in franchise history. Harry Craft
was named Houston's first manager. The Colt .45s finished eighth among the National League
's ten teams, with a record of 64-96, 36½ games behind the NL Champion San Francisco Giants
.
. This brought the number of teams in the NL to ten, matching the 1961 expansion of the American League
.
, highlighted by a three run home run in the bottom of the third inning by Román Mejías
. The .45s would go on to sweep the Cubs in their first three game series at Colt Stadium
. The team finished April with a 7-8 record, 4 games in front of the expansion Mets
and only 5 games behind the National League leading Pirates
and Giants
.
By June 2, with the second loss to the Pirates in Pittsburgh, the Colt .45s had fallen to 16 games behind eventual National League Champion Giants, a deficit that no pre-wild card team had recovered from to make the post season. And, with an August 21 loss at the hands of the Phillies
, the Houston Colt .45s were mathematically eliminated from the postseason with a 37 game deficit to the Dodgers
with 37 games left.
To get an idea of how the first season was for Houston, look at the team's best pitcher, Richard "Turk" Farrell. A starter for the Colt .45s, he was primarily a relief pitcher when he was with the Los Angeles Dodgers
and Philadelphia Phillies
. Turk lost 20 games in 1962, but had an ERA
of 3.02. Turk was selected to both All-Star games that year.
There was a bright spot in the line up in 1962. Román Mejías
, who was acquired from the Pittsburgh Pirates
in the expansion draft, was named the Colt .45s starting right fielder. It was in Houston that Mejías would play the best season of his career. While he played better the first half of the season, an injury slowed him the second half of the season. However, he still finished with a .286 batting average, 24 home runs, and 76 RBIs. His modesty and his hard play made him a fan favorite that year. Despite his good year, Mejías was traded to the Boston Red Sox
in the fall of 1962.
