About this episode
The Astros all-time franchise leader in career wins with 144, Joe Niekro pitched in 11 seasons with the Astros as part of a 22-year career in the Majors. While the knuckleballer found moderate success prior to joining the Astros, he blossomed into a true ace with Houston. Niekro will be inducted into the Astros Hall of Fame in August and Bill Brown talks about his career. First, Robert Ford and 3B Coach and 5-time Gold Glover Gary Pettis catch up before Saturday’s game against the Rangers.
