Before the 1983 season, the Astros traded Danny Heep to the Mets for pitcher Mike Scott, a 28-year-old who had struggled with New York.
Art Howe sat out the 1983 season with an injury, forcing Phil Garner to third and Ray Knight to first.
The 1984 season started off badly when shortstop Dickie Thon was hit in the head by a pitch and was lost for the season.
Scott, who was coming off of a 5 – 11 season, had found his new pitch and would become one of Houston's most celebrated hurlers.
In September, Joe Niekro was traded to the Yankees for two minor league pitchers and lefty Jim Deshaies.
