Craig Biggio

[Horry For 3!]

He is 182 hits away from his 3000th hit.

Last night he broke the record for getting hit by the pitch the most.



Ouch! Biggio get hit-by-pitch record

June 29, 2005
DENVER (AP) -- Craig Biggio was hit on the elbow by Colorado's Byung-Hyun Kim on Wednesday, breaking the modern record for being hit by a pitch.

Biggio was hit on the padding guarding his right elbow during the fourth inning of Houston's game against the Rockies, marking the 268th time he's been plunked, the post-1900 record. He tied Don Baylor's record in the fifth inning Tuesday night, when Colorado's Jason Jennings hit him in the lower back.

Biggio has been hit 12 times this year, his 10th time in double-digits in 12 seasons.

i am amazed this guy will prob get 3000 hits, he is a career .286 hitter and only had a 200 hit season once. he has been consistant for so long, that is tough to do.
