raystrobel47I am quite psyched that Craig Biggio got his 3000th hit, in fitting fashion, at Houston, and I find it a tribute to him as a player that he tried to stretch that hit into a double, even though he was thrown out. I've been a Biggio-Bagwell fan for as long as they both suited up together, and with Bagwell retired I just love to watch Biggio continue to play like he did 20 years ago. Hell, the man still looks as boyish now as he did then.
I know the Astros suck right now (Pirates fans, be glad y'all are at least better than us), but having Craig still playing is uplifting. It's not a definite that Bagwell will make it into the Hall of Fame, but few are doubting Biggio won't be a first ballot shoe-in. And the great thing is that this isn't guaranteed to be his last season playing. Man, if I had the dough, I'd get his jersey.
