Selected by the Houston Astros with the 16th overall pick in the 1997 MLB Draft following a standout collegiate career at Rice University, Berkman rapidly climbed through the organization's minor league system. He reached Triple-A New Orleans in 1999 before receiving his promotion to Houston and making his Major League debut on July 16, 1999.

Nicknamed "Big Puma," Berkman developed into one of the finest switch-hitters of his generation. Alongside Jeff Bagwell and Craig Biggio, he became part of Houston's celebrated group of stars known as the "Killer B's." A six-time MLB All-Star, Berkman finished his 15-year Major League career with a .293 batting average, 366 home runs, 1,234 RBIs, 1,905 hits, and a .406 on-base percentage.

Berkman helped lead the Astros to the franchise's first World Series appearance in 2005 and later won the 2011 World Series with the St. Louis Cardinals. He delivered one of the defining hits of the memorable 2011 Fall Classic, tying Game 6 with a two-out single in the 10th inning to help keep St. Louis' championship hopes alive.
