The American former second baseman, outfielder, and catcher in Major League Baseball who played his entire career from 1988 through 2007 for the Houston Astros.

Craig Biggio graduated from Kings Park High School in Kings Park, New York, where he excelled as a multi-sport varsity athlete.

Most notably, after the 1983 season, Biggio was awarded the Hansen Award, which recognized him as being the best football player in Suffolk County.

Biggio played 1,800 games without a trip to the disabled list until August 1, 2000, when he suffered a season-ending knee injury.
On June 28, 2007, Biggio became the 27th player in the history of Major League Baseball to join the 3,000-hit club, with a single against Colorado Rockies pitcher Aaron Cook.
