The righthander signs a $1.5 million free agent contract in 2003 but starts just three games before needing surgery. 1966 - On New Year's Eve, the Astros bring perennial All-Star Eddie Mathews to Houston along with utilityman Sandy Alomar and pitcher Arnie Umbach from the Braves for pitcher Bob Bruce and outfielder Dave Nicholson.
