A question for you Astros fans......

[Guest JoesBros]

There is no doubt we were lucky to watch Biggio and Bagwell stick it out their whole careers with one team. My question is about Biggio. Is everybody going to remember him for his 3,000 hits? Because when I think about him 3,000 dosent even come to mind its everything else he brought to the field. I know 3,000 is going to help him into the HOF more than likely first ballot.

I think of dirty uniforms. The way he played the game first.

With Bagwell, I think of .124 batting average in playoffs (or at least close to the number)

Dirty uniforms! Thats one thing that comes to mind along with the pine tar stained helmet.

I'd have to agree with this for sure. Also, the fact that he started out as an All-Star catcher before he was an All-Star second baseman.

He was a true gamer.

I remember Biggio for being unselfish. He'd play wherever they wanted him to play. He should have gotten starting all-star at 2nd base sooner, but there was a fella by the name of Ryne Sandberg playing for the Cubs who seemed to always beat him out. Biggio also had a clutch bat. I liked Biggio much better than Bagwell. I'm glad I lived during Biggio's playing days.

I agree, he was willing to play outfield to make room for Jeff Kent.

I also can't forget the doubles and hit by a pitch numbers.

He's probably my all time favorite.

what sticks out most to me is his attitude both on and off the field. such a class act. i hope i get the chance to make the trip to Cooperstown in 2012 (hopefully)

I'll remember all the autographs he signed. Late in his career, he was down the line signing away.  I don't know when he figured it out, but he signed left handed. Thought that was neat.
