The Houston Astros' rotation already features the likes of Justin Verlander, Zack Greinke, Gerrit Cole and Wade Miley—and that's not even mentioning Aaron Sanchez, who was part of a combined no-hitter in his first start with the team after being acquired at the trade deadline.

On Wednesday night, WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair, 70, was the latest star to take the field at Minute Maid Park and show off his arm:
