1986 Houston Astros saw several changes. The general manager, Al Rosen, was fired along with manager Bob Lillis. Dick Wagner and Hal Lanier replaced them, and the Houston Astros got off to a great start. The Astrodome hosted the Major League Baseball All-Star Game, and the Astros continued on a winning streak. They ended up facing the New York Mets, in a 16-inning game that was the record until 2005, and still holds the record as the longest League Championship Series game.

In 1990, the Houston Astros made what fans consider to be one of their best moves. They traded Larry Anderson for Jeff Bagwell. Bagwell ended up becoming the all time home run leader for the Astros, and many fans see him as the best player in the history of the team. The same year, the Astros traded Kenny Lofton to the Cleveland Indians, which is seen by many to be one of the worst trades in history. The 1990s also found the Astros to be more discontent with the Astrodome, which was renovated to benefit the football team. The team tried to move to Washington, D.C., but the move was not approved by the other league owners, and the team was sold in 1993 to Drayton McLane.

In order to keep players healthy and playing, physicians for the Houston Astros are required to keep tabs on them. This was especially true for Jeff Bagwell, who had issues with his shoulder. Jeff Bagwell also has had laser eye surgery done, and TLC Laser Eye Centers advertise themselves as being the eye doctor to the Houston Astros former player.
