Craig Biggio goes in to the hall of fame on his third try. He had the magic 3,000 hits but may not have been that dominant player many look for when electing a player to the hall of fame. He did go to seven all-star games but was never an MVP and didn't lead the league in any of the sexy categories. Still he did get 3,000 hits, ended up 5th all-time on the doubles list, won four gold gloves, and finished second all-time in hit by pitches. He also played his entire career with Houston which is not easy to do and did so during the great run the Astros made in the 2000's including making it to the World Series once. I think he is well deserved of this honor. He got 3,000 hits which is a magic number and has to be looked at for what it is. Not all players do it the same way. He deserved this and I'm happy he made it in.
