Toolbox Downtown Lunch with Lance Berkman

MLB Great

One of the greatest pure hitters in baseball over his 15-year Major League career, Lance Berkman was a five-time All-Star in 12 seasons with Houston, including four seasons in which he finished in the top-five of the National League MVP voting. A first-round pick by the Astros out of Rice University in 1997, Lance went on to become the Astros all-time leader in career on-base percentage (.410) slugging percentage (.549) and OPS (.959). Lance helped lead the Astros to three playoff appearances, including the club’s first appearance in the World Series in 2005.
