Puhl, who spent the first 14 seasons of his 15-year Major League career in an Astros uniform, is in the top 10 all-time in franchise history in multiple categories, including WAR, games played, hits, doubles, triples and runs scored. His 14 seasons as an Astro are topped only by Craig Biggio (20 seasons) and Jeff Bagwell (15 seasons). In addition to his offensive production, Puhl was considered a talented, all-around player that provided strong defense and speed on the basepaths. Defensively, Puhl was one of the most sure-handed outfielders in the National League, committing just 18 errors in 1,300 career games. His .993 fielding pct. is the best among outfielders in Astros history and ranks 8th all-time among all outfielders in NL history. Puhl was also an effective base stealer, tallying 217 steals in his career, swiping 30-or-more bags twice and 20-or-more six times. Offensively, Puhl was a model of consistency, hitting over .300 in three different seasons and .282 or higher nine times. In 1978, he was selected to the NL All-Star team.

Romero enters his 15th season of play-by-play on the Astros Spanish radio network. Romero joined the Astros in 2008 and recorded his 2,000th regular season Astros game in 2021. Additionally, in his career, Francisco has called four no-hitters and a perfect game. Prior to coming to Houston, he spent five seasons broadcasting Milwaukee Brewers games in Spanish on Telemundo Wisconsin. His MLB broadcasting experience also includes selected Minnesota Twins games over five seasons (2003-08). Romero made his Major League broadcast debut was for the Arizona Diamondbacks on Telemundo Arizona in 1999, and he spent two years on Diamondbacks broadcasts from 1999-2000.

Treviño returns for his 27th season as the color analyst on the Astros Spanish radio network. He joined the Astros broadcast booth in 1996 and has called more than 3,000 Astros games, 11 postseason appearances and four World Series (2005, 2017, 2019 & 2021). Treviño’s 27 seasons in the broadcast booth are the most in franchise history by a Spanish broadcaster, besting Orlando Sanchez Diago’s record of 21 years. A native of Monterrey, Mexico, Treviño spent 13 seasons playing in the Majors, primarily as a catcher, including the 1988-90 seasons with the Astros. He also spent time with the Mets, Reds, Braves, Giants and Dodgers. While with the Mets in 1980, he threw out 44% (47 of 106) of attempted base stealers, which was tops in the NL. Later in his career, while with the Dodgers on June 13, 1986 vs. the Padres in San Diego, he was part of history when he and pitcher Fernando Valenzuela formed the first Mexican-born battery in Major League history.
