last one a line drive to right-center in the
bottom of the seventh inning. The 3,000-hit club got its 27th member Thursday night at 9:12 p.m. He would get five hits in all, the second-five hit game of his career.

Sounds like a butler doesn't it? Actually, it
is just a contract that former players sign with
a major league team in order to work in the front office or simply help in ways that vary depending on what you have to offer as a coach, executive or both.

After playing for the Astros for the last
20 years , the lineup does not seem the
same with out him. Craig Biggio has been a Houston staple for a long time. Biggio can still be found on a Houston Baseball diamond though. Craig Biggio is an assistant coach at his sons baseball team at Saint Thomas High School.

Are 3000 hits an automatic ticket to Cooperstown?
Last June, when Craig Biggio collected his 3000 th
hit, pundits and old timers heralded it as the last time it will be done without the benefit of the DH, or the “hard way”. Even though he did play twenty games at DH, and the same people said this when Tony Gwynn and Cal Ripken Jr. did it, it is hard to imagine it with free agency, and ...

Kenny Lofton's reluctance could cost him Major League
history Well, he's not exactly free, so don't feel
sorry for him. He's had his opportunities: the Reds offered him a minor league deal, and the Rays offered him a one-year/$1million deal. He declined both of these franchises for which he's never played.

I wonder if this is how this clown
thought it would end, limping towards history to break
a record that very few people actually want him to break. Instead, most would love to see his leg break like a week-old bread stick on his way to pick up the ball in the left field corner. But if my prayers to Allah, Jesus, and the Jewish equivalent of Jesus haven’t worked thus far, then I have to believe ...

his 3,000th career hit tonight. My love for Biggio started way back in the days when he was a catcher (remember that?). Back in the ...

HOUSTON -- Over the course of baseball history,
very few players leave the game on their own

Batters getting hit by pitches is a big

Craig Biggio kissed his wife, hugged everyone in
sight and dragged former teammate Jeff Bagwell out onto
the field to soak in the celebration. It was the perfect place for the Astros second baseman to get his 3,000th career hit. Biggio became the 27th player to reach the milestone number on Thursday night with a single to center field in the seventh inning.
