One of my favorite players to watch. Plays hard all the time and has alot of fun doing it. I know that he hasnt won a World Series, but I say he goes into the Hall as a no brainer......Approaching 3,000 knocks.

Biggio has finished very strong, great guy, if he retired today his numbers would be very hard to keep out.

He only had 57 homers at age 29, and 200+ since! He will get 3000 hits which makes him AUTOMATIC, a ring would be nice but he's in either way.

Funny if you would have asked this question 6 years ago, between him and Alomar , Robbie would have gotten all the attention ....one still going strong and one is long gone.

OBTW- Biggio 408 career SBs!

The one knock on his game, he strikes out a whole lot for a contact hitter...he's a very unique player in many ways.

alert 4 HITS AWAY FROM 3,000
6-24-07

Biggio finished 3-for-5 with a walk, getting the 41-year-old second baseman within four hits of becoming only the 27th player with 3,000. The double was the 658th of his career, sixth-most on the career list and the most by a right-handed hitter.

Without a doubt, he's a hall of famer. With that last double, he became the best righty doubles hitter of ALL TIME. That on top of the 3000 hits, no brainer.

Absolutely

3,000 Hits is the key. Also a class act and hard nosed gritty player.:banger:

3,000 hits makes him a lock.

i like biggio but during most of his career i would not have considered him a hall of famer. he has been able to stay healthy, and compile the numbers to make it into the hall.

Also, an All-Star in the outfield, 2B, and catcher....very rare.
