Round Rock Express

The Round Rock Express is a minor league baseball franchise based in the Austin, Texas suburb of Round Rock. The Express currently plays in the Pacific Coast League as the Class AAA affiliate of the Houston Astros. Its home stadium is Dell Diamond.

The ownership group of the Express is led by Hall of Fame pitcher and Texas native Nolan Ryan; his sons Reid and Reese hold executive positions. The Ryans' group purchased the Edmonton Trappers in 2003 and moved the team to Round Rock after the 2004 season.

Before the Trappers were moved to Texas, the Express was a Class AA team in the Texas League already owned by the Ryans' group. After the purchase of the Trappers, the Ryans announced that the original Express would move to Corpus Christi, Texas for the 2005 season. The former Express will remain the Double-A affiliate of the Astros as the Corpus Christi Hooks.
