[Author of the blog], whose baseball team allegiance is to the Boston Red Sox, said he's become a genuine fan of Biggio since his blog's debut.

"He's never been injured. He's always played the next day and he's never charged the mound," Warren said, admirably. "He's one of those obscure guys. You don't really hear that much about him, but he's going to be a Hall of Famer."

It's difficult to follow baseball when you're busy keeping track of when and which Neil Diamond song to sing.   Catch up boys, he's only hit more major league doubles than any other right handed hitting human being that has ever lived on the planet.

How about last year(or in 2005) when he had 2 wisdom teeth pulled and still played that same night, That just shows how much he likes playing the game wether he's in pain or not he still plays plays the game the only way he knows how.

Both before and after the 2000 season, when Biggio missed the last two months after Preston Wilson nearly took his leg off at the knee breaking up a double play.

If Biggio would have maintained his average (.268) over the last 250 at bats that season, then he would have had ~67 more hits. But, he was doing about .290 those years, so he would have most likely reached 3000 at the end of last season barring another injury in my make-believe alternate universe.

That whole year belongs in an alternate universe.  Biggio's injury was just one more fucked-up fuck up in a fuck up of a fucked-up season.

Even better, had he taken the free agent offer from Colorado in 1995, 3,000 would have been passed long ago and he wouldn't have to tolerate the current graceless whining.

That is just silly.

[jaklewein]

and there's always the strike shortened '94 season that cost him some hits.

He hasn't hit more major league doubles than right handed hitting Nap Lajoie.

""I was wondering why there wasn't somebody writing about this," Warren told ABC News in an interview. "What interests me about this record is that it's not something he's trying to do. It has that kind of purity to it."

Not sure why he thinks Biggio is not trying to do it.  I would say most of the HBP in Bidge's career were done by choice.  Now the pitches didn't intend to hit him most of the time, but Bidge was often thinking HBP before the pitch came if the pitch was even kind of inside.
