Jersey Year Question, Astros Spring Training/Minors

[shaunharr]

Hey everyone,

I need some help. Does anybody know when/years the Astros used these, possibly in minor league Spring Training, Instructs, Rookie Ball, etc?

I am asking because the back has Towles' name on it, and number from a picture I have signed by him, and all I know is that the picture is from 2005-2007.

The Houston Astros wore these in 2000 and 2001.

It is possible they recycled them afterwards to a minor league affiliate. I have seen some pop up with the nameplates having been removed.
