    I just took a look at tonight's score against San Diego--he's homered again!

    The man clearly is going to go out on a high note. Good for him!

    But boy, will he be missed for the next, oh, 20 years or so. :bowdown:

      He's gonna catch

      Anyone going to Saturdays game? He is supposed to catch the first inning or two for Backe. This should be a treat.

        I think Biggio also holds the career team record for being instrumental in the most Astros managerial careers being torpedoed.

          Yeah, I was there, watching from Champion's Pavillion. WOW, was it great!!!

          I'll never forget that game, for so many reasons. Maybe I'll list 'em sometime.

            I... think they did a good enough job killing their own careers without Biggio's help. Where do these people come from?

              Craig Biggio #7 - A native Long Islander...

              Everyone: I am new here and from looking over this vast site I noticed this topic on Craig Biggio. He grew up in an adjacent town here on LI-Smithtown. He was a graduate of Smithtown West HS I believe in 1984. I recall he grew up a Mets fan as many back then on LI did but not only did he make it all the way to MLB he played for one team-the Astros-his entire career as we all know here. He definitely is one of the most stand-out players to come from LI in recent years.

              One thing I later found out about him was that during a HS baseball game back in 1983 or 1984 he was on the field when a teammate was struck and killed by lightning during a game. I even remember the storms vaguely-they were particularly nasty- and that tragedy stood out in my mind being a weather fan also. I remember that he was very observant and apprehensive concerning lightning storms-rightfully so in my opinion after what happened.

              Playing in Houston in the Astrodome and then Minute Maid Park was a good fit for him and being a one-team career player just makes me respect him all that much more. He should be a prime nominee for the Baseball Hall of Fame when he becomes eligible.

              In closing: Thanks,Craig to a great baseball career! Long Island Mike

                It's pretty interesting to see what I wrote two years ago.
