Huston attended The University of Texas from 2002-04.

Minor Leagues
Huston was drafted by the Oakland Athletics in 2004.

Major Leagues
Huston was called up to the major leagues at the start of the 2005 season, and became Oakland's closer when incumbent Octavio Dotel went down in May with an elbow injury that required Tommy John surgery.

Huston saved 23 games in 27 chances to go along with a 5-1 record, 72 strikeouts, and a 1.72 ERA. Only Mariano Rivera's 1.38 ERA for the Yankees was better among American League relievers.

Huston was rewarded being named Rookie of the Year, as the third player in a row who had spent some time in the Athletics organization (after Angel Berroa in 2003, and Bobby Crosby in 2004).

Street has continued to serve as the closer for the A's. He finished the 2006 season with a record of 4-4 and 37 saves, with 67 strikeouts and a 3.31 ERA in 70.2 IP with 11 blown saves.

Street had a solid season in 2007 despite missing time with an injury. He went 5-2 with a 2.88 ERA, with 16 saves and 62 strikeouts in 50 innings.

Huston has struggled somewhat in 2008. He is currently 3-5 with a 4.34 ERA as of August 23, but had 6 blown saves in 24 save opportunities. He lost his closer role to Brad Ziegler.
