Honestly very happy for him. Hope to watch him do well even outside of Houston.

Added 3 more CJ bats over the weekend!

Thats good to hear. Most people fall apart if their favorite player gets traded or something.

Ben,

Hah, some may think that. I bought my first Biggio bat from the Astros in 1991 when they used to have a bat waiting list program. I remember when my mom took me to the Astrodome that summer day. I was so happy to have saved my $75 for the bat. The lady called and said they had a Biggio and Luis Gonzlez bat for me. I stil have that bat and it is one of my favorites to this day. Since then, I have handled or reviewed over 100 of his bats.

The odd thing is that Biggio early (pre-1994/95) and late (2004-07) bats are the toughest to find. The story is that Craig started keeping much of his items in the 2002-2003 era for his family, with the game use ditems being shipped off to New Jersey routinely through the season.

It has been fun collecting his stuff. I believe Craig is one of the last players to be passionate about the game. I remember a game in 2003 or 2004 when the Astros were down 9-2 or so in the 7th inning. I recall him taking a HBP with 2 outs and running out a infield dribbler. Wish there were more like him.

Thanks,

Any updates on this list?

I'm up to 26 Brandon Allen bats, which I think is amazing considering most of them have been minor lg bats (only one of which did I get in-person).
