The Houston Colt .45s' 1964 season was their third season in Major League Baseball. It involved the Houston Colt .45s finishing in ninth place in the National League with a record of 66-96, 27 games behind the eventual World Series champion St. Louis Cardinals. It was their final season for the team at Colt Stadium before relocating their games to the Astrodome in 1965. It was also the final year for this franchise before changing its name to the "Astros" for the '65 season. The most significant event for the Colts during the 1964 season was Ken Johnson's no hitter on April 23rd. Unfortunately for Johnson, the team lost the game 1-0.
