Top 10 Moments At Minute Maid Park

7) June 22, 2002 - Jeff Bagwell honors the memory of friend and former teammate Darryl Kile with the game-winning pinch-hit single in the bottom of the 12th to give the Houston Astros a 3-2 victory over the Seattle Mariners.

Kile passed away earlier in the day of coronary disease in a Chicago hotel while participating in a three-game weekend series at Wrigley Field with the St. Louis Cardinals.

3) Oct. 17, 2005- The Astros are one strike away from advancing to the World Series when St. Louis Cardinals All-Star first baseman Albert Pujols silences the entire city of Houston with a massive game-winning three-run homer off Astros’ closer Brad Lidge in Game Five of the 2005 NLCS, which landed on the train tracks in the back of Minute Maid Park.
