This is a discussion on Craig Biggio 3000th Hit Watch within the Houston Astros forum at Strike 3 Forums; he is a class guy, and only needs 10 more hits.
Go get'em Craig!!

HOUSTON -- Jeff Bagwell would like to be in attendance for Craig Biggio's 3,000th hit, and he's going to do everything he can to be there when his longtime teammate and friend reaches the big milestone.
Bagwell is even toying with the idea of putting on a uniform one last time and witnessing the hit from the Astros' dugout, if he can successfully lobby the Commissioner's Office to allow for him to do so.
"I thought about that, whether or not I'd want to be in uniform again and be down there," he said. "Worse comes to worse, I'll hang out in the clubhouse before he gets it and just pop into the dugout when he gets back in.
"I still don't know if I want to be in uniform. I probably would have to get special permission to do that anyway. I don't know if that's what I want to do, but it would be something I would entertain. I would consider it."
I wouldn't mind it.
"For someone who was never meant for this world, I must confess I'm suddenly having a hard time leaving it. Of course, they say every atom in our bodies was once part of a star. Maybe I'm not leaving... maybe I'm going home."

It's really cool to see baseball fans rooting for a class guy in his trek on history. Nice going you guys. That double last night makes him the all-time doubles leader for right-handers.
I hope he gets it at home, but I'll take it wherever it happens.
It looks to me Milwaukee has their gameface back on. Could be bad times for Houston this series.
