Ashby and Garner Honor in Astros Hall | Houston Astros News

Two Astros legends, Alan Ashby and the late Phil Garner, were honored together in the team’s Hall of Fame — a moving tribute to their intertwined legacies. Ashby, the switch-hitting catcher who caught no-hitters and helped build playoff dynasties in the ’80s, shared heartfelt reflections on being inducted alongside his revered former teammate. Garner, known as “Scrap Iron,” left an indelible mark both as a player and manager, guiding the Astros to their first World Series in 2005 — a triumph he’d never live to see. His family accepted the honor on his behalf after his passing in 2026, making the ceremony deeply emotional. Together, they embody the heart and soul of Astros history — forever enshrined side by side. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
