Beetle Bailey's Legacy with Astros

Former Astros catcher and coach Mark Bailey, known as “Beetle,” has died at 64 after a battle with cancer. A cornerstone of the organization for over 25 years, he played five of his seven MLB seasons with Houston, catching over 400 of Nolan Ryan’s strikeouts. After retiring as a player, he became a vital coaching force, leading the bullpen from 2002–2009 and helping the Astros win the 2005 NL pennant. Inducted into multiple Halls of Fame, Bailey’s legacy lives on through the players he mentored and the deep impact he made on the Astros family.
