Career Comes to a Close

Craig Biggio closed out his 20 year career today with the Houston Astros. What a career it was too. There are too many accolades for me to list here, but you can see his career stats here. Craig Biggio will make it to Cooperstown. Craig will continue to make an impact to the Houston community. Biggio was the complete package. He played with heart, devotion, and energy. He always gave it his all, even when there was no chance of winning. If any kids out there are looking for a role model, Biggio is it.
I didn't get to see his last game today, but i did get to see him play in the Astrodome as a catcher. My parents once told me the Astrodome was like a big house, in which you could play baseball in. I think that's where i got the idea to play 'baseball' in our house as a kid. Yes, mom and dad, you planted that idea in my head...which inevitably led to the hole in the wall at 3rd base. hehe
Anyway, congratulations Craig on an awesome career! It doesn't get much better than that...
