Biggio’s Retirement

Craig Biggio announced yesterday that he would be retiring at the end of the 2007 season. This does not come as a huge surprise to me, especially after he obtained his 3000th career hit a couple of weeks ago.

I remember very clearly when he started with the Astros and made his 1st Major League hit. I was barely two years out of High School.

To top off his big day, he lifted the Astros to a win over the LA Dodgers by belting a GRAND SLAM.  Wow!!!  This is one hell of a player.

Baseball will be losing one of the best and most upstanding players of the game. It is definately the end of an era.  Good luck to Craig Biggio and his family.
