BEFORE THEY WERE ASTROS:

So I thought it would be a good time to look at some of your favorite Astros Baseball Players before they were superstars with their time with the Astros double-A affiliate Corpus Christi Hooks. I have also included one of Justin Verlander's from his days with the Detroit Tigers double-A affiliate, Erie Seawolves! Have you ever been to Whataburger Field in Corpus Christi? This is why I go to minor-league baseball games. You never know what future superstars are taking the field. Thanks to the CC Hooks Facebook page for posting these awesome photos!

Check out the babyfaces of Altuve, Bregman, Valdez, Tucker, McCuller's Jr, and also a baby-face Justin Verlander.

Here is one of Justin Verlander from the Detroit Double-A Affiliate, Erie Seawolves
