    Congratulation, Craig Biggio! You deserved it and waited longer than you should have.

    I don't like the numerous backhanded compliments Biggio has gotten from people in the media for getting in. That includes Schilling's he was "good" every year he played in. It sounds unimpressive and it's also inaccurate since he sucked for the last few but was f&*king amazing for many. But at least he was super supportive of Bagwell.

    Love that he took time out of his HOF announcement to make a case for/defend Bagwell. Always a teammate.

    Just awesome.

    Awesome class from my childhood. I may try to go. Especially for Bidge.

    I'm only about five hours from Cooperstown.
