You might remember Jim Crane.  He went to the University of Central Missouri.  He pitched for the Mules in the ’70s.

Now he’s buying the Houston Astros…for $680 million.

Astros owner Drayton McLane has reached an agreement to sell the team to a group led by Crane, pending approval from Major League Baseball.

McLane paid around $117 million for the team when he bought it in 1992.
