    His GS was so amazing. Lucky for me, I caught on time for his game-winning Grand Slam on TV. Such a honor for him.

    Only his 3rd career GS, imagine that?

    I saw that, too. It was rather sensational as well. Quite a game between the Astros and Brewers. Wow!

    I'm not an Astros fan but Biggio is a great player and now with 3,000 hits I believe a future Hall of Famer.

    What is there to say besides a class act and one of the all-time greats? Not a surprise, although it's too bad he never won a WS.
    I did a lot of good things as a sim league GM.

    Ah, give me something clever to say here.

    He will be a first ballot hall-of-famer in opinion. They were giving some stats on ESPN Baseball Tonight, last night, and his numbers as just a secondbaseman, let alone CF and C, ranks among the tops 2baggers in history!!!!


    Congrats again to the Biggio, had himself a stellar career.

    It was Biggio's 3rd GS this season, not career. Great decision by Biggio to do it now rather than hang on to part time play. He's the kind of player you want your kids to be like.

    I see, but i saw on TV last night that it was his 3rd GS of career, must be my mistake or just a type. Either that.

    It's actually his 4th career GS, sorry for my worthless mistake.
