Craig Biggio now has 3000 career hits!! Even Bagwell was there to see it, Biggio brought him out on the field, it was really neat to see. I think they said he's the 9th player in history to get his 3000th hit with the same team. He was a first draft pick by the astros in '87 and made his MLB debut 19 years ago this past Tuesday. June is just a good month for Biggio I guess. Drafted, debuted, and 1st and 3000th hit all within the month of june.
Hit 1 (June 29, 1988): After only one full season in the Minor Leagues, catching prospect Craig Biggio joined the Houston Astros in late June 1988. In his fourth game as a Major Leaguer, Biggio had the duty of catching the legendary Nolan Ryan as the Astros opposed the Dodgers and Orel Hershiser at the Houston Astrodome. Hershiser bested Ryan, 2-0, giving up only two singles, one of which was Biggio's first Major League hit.
