Kenny Lofton began his Major League Baseball career with the Houston Astros in 1991, making a brief but memorable debut. Although he only played 20 games with the team, his raw speed and athleticism were evident from the start. Lofton, a former college basketball player at the University of Arizona, showcased his incredible base-stealing ability and dynamic fielding in the outfield. Despite his potential, the Astros traded him to the Cleveland Indians after the season—a move that would shape Lofton’s future as he went on to become one of the premier leadoff hitters and base stealers of the 1990s. His short stint in Houston remains a fascinating “what-if” moment in franchise history.
