Biggio is reminded of Killer B's in current Astros


By: Jordan Smith

Craig Biggio, the Houston Astros' first ever Hall of Famer is living the good life right now. A special assistant to GM Jeff Lunhow of the Houston Astros, perhaps one of the greatest 2B to ever play the game of baseball, and is also a coach to his kids' high school baseball team. Life is pretty sweet right now.

It was also pretty sweet back in the day when he was playing, especially when the Killer B's were in town. Biggio, Bagwell, and Berkman created a 3 headed monster in Houston that set the passion in the space city off and running in the 90's, the last few years before they moved downtown and out of the 8th wonder of the world.

"The excitement level from the anticipation of what you had last year to where we're at now, yeah it is exciting," Biggio said. "It reminds me a lot of the early '90s, where our team is kind of built now for success. Because you look at your core players that you have, they're good kids and good players, and they're young. They should be here for a while." (quotes courtesy of MLB.com)

Having watched the Astros rebuild firsthand, Craig Biggio said that it was really nice to see so much talent on the roster and having that feeling of a high level of enthusiasm around camp again.

"It's exciting to be back," Biggio said. "It's exciting to walk around town in Houston in the offseason and have people excited about your team again." (quotes courtesy of MLB.com)
