Astros Second Best Record Among 1961 Expansion Clubs
The Houston Astros rank second in winning percentage among the eight 1961 expansion teams, trailing only California Angels. California joined the American League in 1961 with Washington, while the Nationals became the Twins in Minnesota. The Mets, introduced in 1962, are the NL team with a pennant, winning the 1969 division, pennant, and World Series. The piece notes that winning percentage is not always the best measure of success.
