History, Comments, Contributions

The 1991 Houston Astros were largely bereft of power, with Jeff Bagwell's 15 home runs leading the way. The club did feature 34-steal Steve Finley and Craig Biggio, who batted .295, but such solid individual performances were not enough to keep the club out of the divisional gutter. On the mound, All-Star Pete Harnisch stood out with a 12-9 record and a 2.70 ERA.
