HOUSTON, Sept. 20 (UPI) -- The Houston Astros said Monday they will move their Class AAA franchise to Oklahoma City next season.
The Astros' top minor league team is in Round Rock, Texas, this year.
Houston's Triple-A franchise was in Oklahoma City from 1962 through 1972.
"We are very excited to have our Triple-A affiliation coming home to Oklahoma City," said Astros owner Drayton McLane. "There's a rich tradition of baseball in Oklahoma City, with strong ties to the Astros, so we expect great things in Oklahoma City".
