i think Biggio is also the active leader in hits now. I guess bonds would be on that list too, who else?

i think Biggio is also the active leader in hits now. I guess bonds would be on that list too, who else?

Top 5 (as of 6/9/06):

1. Biggio (2856)
2. Bonds (2775)
3. Franco (2532)
4. Finley (2471)
5. Sheffield (2383)

Yeah, 3/4's of his hits may possibly be collected at home. But who's counting; hits are hits, right?

From 2003-05, Bidge had 500 hits even, 53% at home and 47% on the road. With a 34 home/27 road game split so far this year, about 67% of his hits have come in Houston. Bidge didn't start in eight of the 27 road games so far this year, so in terms of playing time, he's on about the same hits-at-home/road split that he was from 2003-05.

Whether or not he reaches 3,000 hits shouldn't have any bearing on whether or not he makes the Hall of Fame. Whether or not the Astros win a World Series with him shouldn't have any bearing. The fact he's been among the top few percent of his peers for so long, that should be the deciding factor.

And Biggio is a quiet player, and a example for the community.

This may have been covered already, but what are his chances at making it this year? Even remotely possible, or not?

Probably not, he is the only Astro to have a 200-hit season in the 45 year history of the team, but hey, we can carry this to next season.

Unfortunately, not really. He's on pace to finish this season with 170 hits, which would put him at 2965. He would need to finish with 205 hits to reach 3,000 this year, and he's only reached the 200-hit mark in a season one time in his career (1998).

It's not impossible, just looking very unlikely.

Yeah he's 2 for 6 now, with a couple of cheap singles, and 3 k's. 10 more k's and he'll reach 1600 for his career. Another milestone.

And he just passed little known Mr. Herman on the all-time hits list - good for him. Maybe this will bring to light some of the Herm's accomplishments.
