Craig Biggio holds a record that might never be broken! He is one of the best baseball players from the 1990s, and his Hall of Fame career will blow your mind. The real question is how come we don’t talk about this guy more? Well, he played all 20 years of his big league career with the Houston Astros, and they would make the postseason in just 6 of those seasons. Unfortunately, Craig Biggio never got a World Series ring. I bring this up early because to truly appreciate Craig Biggio, you have to realize his loyalty to the city of Houston was priority number one. The fans loved him, and Biggio was an excellent example of what hustle looks like, to his teammates and opposing players.

Biggio is a shining example of how someone should play the game. Always looking to help the team. Moved from catcher to 2B to outfield. He tore out of the box whether he slammed a ball into the gap or trickled one out to the pitcher. He was always respectful, and he did everything he could to win a championship. Unfortunately the Astros couldn't ever get that done for him. The Astros during his tenure were always up against a higher payroll and higher market team. He may not have ever performed the best in the playoffs, but he was also facing the braves 3 headed monster almost every year. In 2005 he did everything he could to get us there. He was the consummate professional. Miss ya Craig. You're the man. Thanks for the trip down memory lane and I would like to say thank you for giving him the recognition that he deserves.

Loved his effort and watching him as a kid, he was a great role model for the city. It's a shame he never got a chance to win a WS as a player, but at least got the chance before the sunset on his career. He is still with the organization now and serves in an advisory role. I was lucky enough to be there for his 3k hit night, unlucky enough to be there for game 4 in 2005. Astros fans are blessed to have Altuve fill his shoes and have the same mentality.

I met Craig Biggio at a motocross store in Sugarland right after their trip to the WS in 2005. He was one of the coolest people you could have ever meet. He was really genuine, and you could tell losing that WS hurt him because he wanted it for the City of Houston. He loves Houston and we Astros fan that grew up watching Biggio since he came in the league appreciate his great play and motivation and hustle every day, he played and the way he cares about beloved City. Thanks Craig.

You have to remember who the Astros played in the postseason and then You can see why Biggio struggled. The Big Three was a trio of Major League Baseball starting pitchers for the Atlanta Braves from 1993 to 2002 which consisted of Greg Maddux, Tom Glavine, and John Smoltz. The Big Three combined to win seven National League Cy Young Awards in the 1990s

Agreed. Molitor came to mind as I watched this profile of Biggio and his transitions to other positions. The book, "Nine Innings," covers how Molitor came up as a shortstop with the Brewers - only to have future-Hall-of-Famer, Robin Young, already established there; then, shifts to second base and centerfield (with injuries); finally, moving to third base before a long stint as a DH. Great story. You know, we can cite injuries - as with Pete Reiser and Mickey Mantle - or military service - as with Ted Williams and Bob Feller - as unfortunate circumstances that prevented such gifted athletes from having full careers and producing the numbers we speculate they might have achieved. I do that often. Then, I remember how blessed they were to perform at the highest level for any length of time - and how blessed we've been to have them come our way.

I was a Montreal Expos fan and in the beginning of his career, Biggio and the Astros in general, played a similar style of game, ie a classically National League style that emphasized base -running and pitching vs power hitting that was more common in the American League. However, at some point Biggio morphed from a speedy infielder into an all-around superstar

As a lifetime Houston Astros fan I can truly say Biggio and Bagwell truly taught me what loyalty really means because they were owed so much more while they were here. One of my favorite stories I've heard about Biggio came from Lance Berkman and when she talked about a game that we were down by 10 runs going into the 8th inning everybody was dejected and defeated in the dugout and ready to move on to the next game. When video came in from the field and said the game's not over, they scored seven runs in one inning we can do the same. Let's come back and beat these guys and that's exactly what we did. That kind of heart can't be taught it has to be instilled in you at a young age and I appreciate every moment he gave us Astros fans. Jeff Bagwell was the reason why I played baseball to begin with but Craig Biggio is a reason why I became a second baseman I respect these two men greatly and I'm in awe that I get to live in again with Jose Altuve and hope He plays his whole career with us as did Biggio and Bagwell.

The sky was clear, not a cloud and it was a bit windy, but for some reason as I heard that call everything got real foggy for a while. I grew up watch Biggio play, I went to my first game to watch him in diapers. Watching him play, humble, committed, and loyal, made me love the game. It was so Biggio that he tried to stretch his 3000th into a double.

I appreciate your enthusiasm when commentating on the players in question as well as your knowledge of what they did. You have earned a subscriber. All my best to you. EDIT- remember, also, that Biggio put those stellar numbers together in the beginning of his career while playjng half of his games in the Houston Astrodome. That park was a big-time pitcher's park. This makes his numbers even more impressed, although the stats like OPS+ and WAR bring that out.

Biggio was my childhood idol. Loved growing up watching this dude! He'll be the only player to ever play an entire 162 game season without grounding into a double play.

Great Video! You summed up my entire childhood and coming of age years watching the Astros in person and on TV. The braves crushed our dreams in the late 90’s. Those Astros teams were good. The 2005 NL champion season was maybe my favorite season ever as an Astros fan. The excitement of watching (mostly listening on the radio) to them come down the stretch of the regular season and make the playoff was so much fun. Biggio is truly a class act and makes me proud to be a lifelong Astros fan.

Thanks so much for making this video, I learned a lot about Biggio I didn't even know before since he played before my time watching the Astros. Even though a lot of people might not like the Astros now, they had some underrated legends like Bagwell and Biggio so I appreciate people can respect how good of a history they had and all the great players the Astros had back in those days. great video!

Thank you so much! I'm glad to hear you learned a lot, Biggio was a great player to make a career retrospective for. I plan on making one on Bagwell one of these days because he certainly was a remarkable player as well

I actually got my first dog from one of his events, my pops won him at the auction and we didn’t know what to name him (also bc I was 7 years old at the time) so we named him biggio. He was a black lab and was just as loyal and impactful as Craig biggio was. Biggio’s (my dog) birthday was also a day before my own so it was like he grew up with me. He lived for 13 years and it still feels like it was yesterday.🖤🐾 back then I never liked or understood baseball but here I am binging baseball content that I lowkey wished I had picked up a bat instead of dribbling a ball lol . Life really comes at you fast truly.

As a wee lad I was in the crawford boxes at the game where they had an appreciation ceremony for Biggio in his final season. He hit an absolute laser about 15 feet from me. Something I'll never forget.

We used to drive from the Golden Triangle to Houston at 5 after work to catch a game at the Astrodome. We’d be buying seats at 7 , cause it took 2 hours to get there, and almost every time Biggio was hitting a homer as we were taking our seats. Great memories of the old dome.

You should look at the insane prime of Vince Coleman who tore up the bases for the Cardinals for a shorter career. One guy that could steal like Ricky Henderson. His steal numbers are just insane in his prime. Also please do a Kenny Lofton video as well
