This lot features the 2006 Upper Deck Craig Biggio Game Used
Jersey #UD-BI - PSA 7.5! Astros! ---
A seven-time National League (NL) All-Star often regarded as
the greatest all-around player in Astros history, he is the only player ever to
be named an All-Star and to be awarded Silver Slugger Award at both catcher and
second base. With longtime teammates Jeff Bagwell and Lance Berkman, he formed
the core of the "Killer B's" who led Houston to six playoff
appearances from 1997 to 2005, culminating in the franchise's first World
Series appearance in 2005. At the end of his career, he ranked sixth in NL
history in games played (2,850), fifth in at bats (10,876), 21st in hits
(3,060), and seventh in runs scored (1,844). His 668 career doubles ranked
sixth in major league history, and are the second-most ever by a right-handed
hitter; his 56 doubles in 1999 were the most in the major leagues in 63 years.
Biggio, who batted .300 four times and scored 100 runs eight
times, holds Astros franchise records for most career games, at bats, hits,
runs scored, doubles, total bases (4,711) and extra base hits (1,014), and
ranks second in runs batted in (1,175), walks (1,160) and stolen bases (414).
He also holds the NL record for most times leading off a game with a home run
(53), and is one of only five players with 250 home runs and 400 steals. A
four-time Gold Glove Award winner who led NL second basemen in assists six
times and putouts five times, he retired ranking fourth in NL history in games
at second base (1,989), sixth in assists (5,448) and fielding percentage
(.984), seventh in putouts (3,992) and double plays (1,153), and eighth in
total chances (9,596). He was the ninth player in the 3,000 hit club to collect
all his hits with one team. Biggio also led the NL in times hit by pitch five
times, with his career total of 285 trailing only Hughie Jennings' 287 in major
league history.
One of the most admired players of his generation, Biggio
received the 2005 Hutch Award for perseverance through adversity and the 2007
Roberto Clemente Award for sportsmanship and community service. The Astros
retired the number 7 in his honor the year following his retirement. Since
2008, Biggio has served as special assistant to the general manager of the
Astros. He was elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 2015, and is
the first member of the Hall to be depicted in an Astros uniform on his plaque.
