Biggio reaches 3,000 hit plateau

Good for Bidg that he collects his 3,000th hit on a night where he goes 5 for 6 and helped set up Carlos Lee's walk-off bottom of the 11th grand slam to pull out an 8-5 win over the Rockies. That's the Craig Biggio that Houstonians who have admired his magnificent 20 year career want to remember.

There are many tributes today around the web and in the Chronicle today, but John Lopez's and the Plunk Biggio tributes are the best that I've read. Here are
a few of my blog posts on Bidg over the years:

A good man's worthy cause (August 25, 2004);

Bidg sets the MLB hit by pitch record (June 29, 2005);

One of the downsides of the pursuit of 3,000 (August 26, 2005);

The remarkable Mr. Biggio (October 4, 2005); and

Where Bidg stands among the Stros' best hitters of all-time (February 26, 2007).

Bidg's career statistics through last night's game are below, the best reflection of his certain Hall of Fame career.
