Von Hoff was only up briefly in 1965, but in '67 he posted a 10-10 record for the Astros.

Sad news; I actually wasn't familiar with him. :(

He was a bit before your time, Leslie. The photo is his 1968 Topps card, the only mainstream card appearance he ever made.

Yeah, you're right. I consider myself pretty decent on Astros' history, but I had never heard of Von Huff before.

I dont remember him or the card either, but sad nonetheless...
