The Houston Astros are an American professional baseball team based in Houston. The Astros compete in Major League Baseball as a member club of the American League West Division, having moved to the division in 2013 after spending their first 51 seasons in the National League. They are one of two major league clubs based in Texas; the Texas Rangers belong to the same division.
Established as the Houston Colt .45s, the Astros entered the National League as an expansion team in 1962 along with the New York Mets. The current name, reflecting Houston's role as the host of the Johnson Space Center, was adopted three years later, when they moved into the Astrodome, the world's first multi-purpose, domed sports stadium, and named "Eighth Wonder of the World". The Astros moved to Enron Field in 2000. The team played in the NL West division from 1969 to 1993, then the NL Central division from 1994 to 2012, before being moved to the AL West as part of an MLB realignment in 2013.
The Astros posted their first winning record in 1972 and made the playoffs for the first time in 1980, before winning a total of three division titles throughout the 1980s.
