Bill James on Craig Biggio

Interesting bit from Slate.com, subtitled "Why I Loved, & Then Grew Tired Of, The Long-Time Houston Astro".

I always liked Biggio, but James reminded me of some of the reasons why he was such an exemplary player. And I guess I agree with his assessment that Biggio hung around a bit long, but I really have a hard time faulting athletes for that. And I'd rather they stay a little too long than leave too early (paging Barry Sanders...)

CNNSI had a great article on Biggio last year. It almost brought a tear to my eye.
