Biggio spent 20 Major League seasons (1988-2007) in an Astros uniform, becoming the first player ever inducted into Cooperstown as a member of the Houston Astros. Biggio finished his career with a .281 batting average, 3,060 hits and 1,175 RBI. He is one of just 32 players in Major League history to reach 3,000 hits and is also one of just 16 players to reach both 1,000 extra-base hits and 3,000 total hits. Biggio also holds the record for career leadoff home runs with 53. The seven-time All-Star helped guide the Astros to six postseason appearances in a nine-year span and a National League Pennant in 2005.

Wagner, who is currently on the Hall of Fame ballot, was one of the most dominant and hardest-throwing closers in Major League history during his 16-year career, including nine years with the Astros (1995-2003). In his 903.0 innings pitched, Wagner allowed just 601 hits while tallying 1,196 strikeouts. He is also a seven-time All-Star and posted a career 2.31 ERA with an 85.9 save percentage and 422 career saves. Wagner set the franchise record for the most saves in a single season with 44 in 2003. He is also the franchise record holder for the most saves by an Astro all-time.

Blum is entering his eighth season on the Astros television broadcast team, his fourth as the everyday color analyst for Astros telecasts. Blum, who retired after 14 Major League seasons as an infielder (1999-2012), made the transition from the playing field to the broadcast booth in 2013. During his playing career, Blum had two stints with the Astros, totaling five seasons in Houston (2002-03, 2008-10). Throughout his tenure with the Astros, Blum hit .259 with 228 RBI, 46 homers, 77 doubles and a .711 OPS. A switch hitter, Blum was known as one of the top pinch-hitters and utility players in the game, appearing at four infield positions for nine straight seasons (2000-08). He appeared in the postseason three times in his career (2005-06, 2011).

Morales is returning for her eighth season as the Astros TV sideline reporter. As a reporter and anchor for AT&T SportsNet, Morales serves as the primary in-game reporter on Houston Astros telecasts. She previously spent two years at YNN-TV, a 24-hour news channel in Austin, where she covered the Texas Longhorns and Round Rock Express. Morales began her broadcasting career as the Weekend Sports Anchor at KTEN-TV in Sherman, Texas. From there, she took the same position at KYTX-TV in Tyler.
