The Houston Colt 45's joined the OOSL in the 1997 round of expansion. Their two year OOSL career record stands at 130-178 for a .422 Winning Percentage. All four expansion teams of 1997 were disbanded at the end of 1998 to make way for the OOSL American Association. Houston finished tied with Toronto for the second lowest winning percentage among the eight teams that were sliced from the OOSL ledger to start the 1999 season.
The Houston squad was largely defined by their ballpark, pitcher friendly Colt Stadium. George McQuillan was the closest thing Houston had for a star player. McQuillan was Rookie of The Year in 1997 when he notched 34 saves and logged a franchise best ERA with a 2.61 mark and as well. The next year he topped his saves mark with 38. Deacon Phillipe will be remembered as the club's big winner, by virtue of his leading the Colt 45's to victory 15 times in 1998.
