		Craig Biggio did a lot of things yesterday, but one thing he didn't do was get hit by a pitch for the 286th time in his career.
		Biggio is not expected to start in the remaining two games against the Pirates, which may deny Pittsburgh starters Paul Maholm and John Van Benschoten the chance to hit him with a pitch for the first time in either of their careers.
		Craig Biggio has only been hit by a pitch 3 times this season, which is a slow season compared to the rest of his career, but that does mean he's been hit by a pitch at least 3 times in 18 different season.

		With the addition of Jeff Kent, Craig Biggio switched positions, moving from second base to center field, and he handled the spot well in the tricky Minute Maid Park outfield.
		With Andy Pettitte and Roger Clemens in the rotation, this is probably as good a year as any for the Astros to break their postseason slump, and Biggio, a lifetime Astro, deserves the chance to win one.
		This could be the last year for Biggio, though he has an option for the 2005 season in Houston.

		Craig Biggio manipulated his High School SAT scores; accepted a scholarship to Seton Hall that he did NOT deserve; and quit college in his Junior year to enter the MLB Draft.
		Craig previously was NOT able to achieve a score of 800 or better on the S.A.T. In Division 1 College Baseball (including Seton Hall University) one must score at least an 800 on the SAT exam in order to qualify and be accepted into that school.
		Biggio was more adept than Alomar at accumulating stats in the regular season, but when you view both player's accomplishments in the postseason you'll get a better idea at where the two stand in relative terms according to actual ability.

		While Biggio no longer has the speed to steal 40+ bases a season, he still runs well enough to swipe 10-15 bases.
		Biggio's defense has declined along with his offensive skills, but he still remains capable with the glove.
		Biggio is probably a little below average offensively at this stage of his career but he is a legend in Houston and is still producing, so he'll always have a place on the team.
