Jose Cruz #278

 



This week we welcomed Adam Darowski of Sports Reference back to the pod to discuss Astros Legend José Cruz! Cruz was an underrated player who quietly was one of the best OFs from 1975-86. An Astros and Winter League legend, José spent 40+ years with Houston! He remains in the Astros Top 10 in hits, runs, average, WAR, runs, doubles, triples, steals, RBIs, Walks, and almost everything else! 

Topics - brothers, sons, PR Winter League, RBI Corner!
