Biggio Jersey Retirement…..*tear*
August 18, 2008
This was sad…and happy at the same time. It was sad because Biggio won’t be playing anymore, but also a celebration of his career. The Bagwell jersey retirement was, in my opinion, completely depressing. Mainly because of the differences in how they retired. Bagwell really didn’t have a choice…his shoulder made the decision for him. Biggio got to do it the way he wanted…got his 3,000 hits, got to have a last game, etc. I missed the last game, but it was hard enough to watch it on TV. Biggio and Bagwell ARE the Astros. Someone mentioned how rare it would be now for a player to enter the MLB and stay with one team for so long…it is easy to forget how big of a deal that is. Blanca was also at the retirement….she cried, too. 
Some great pictures are up in the photos section!
Have a good week!
