Do they have the career leader for GW-RBI for the Seattle Pilots, or for base stealing for the Colt 45s?

The GWRBI didn't exist in 1969 and Colt .45 records are included with the Astros.

OK, here's what I looked up: how many career records for the Astros are held by Craig Biggio?

Games. At-bats. Runs. Hits. Singles. Doubles. (Not triples -- that's Jose Cruz.) Total bases. Extra-base hits. Strikeouts. Hit by pitch. Most seasons, non-pitcher.

Does anyone here know why Jackie Robinson chose #42? Did he ever say if that number had any special significance for him? Or was it just handed to him?

I believe #42 was just sitting around. See the thread below.
