Awesome. He may not walk much, but i bet he gets hit by a ton of pitches! haha. very cool. biggio was one of the greats and a very classy man.

Biggio broke the modern-era career hit-by-pitch record, previously held by Don Baylor with 267. He is second to only Hughie Jennings on the all-time list with 287. Despite being hit by a record number of pitches, Biggio never charged the mound,[4] and had no serious injuries as a result of being hit by a pitch.

There was an article some time back in the SB Tribune, I believe. Papa Biggio was elated that his son was heading to ND!!!

ND started out strong in the Regionals beating Wright St only to get shut out by Illinois earlier today & getting shut out now by Wright St in the elimination game.

ND hires Link Jarrett as their new baseball coach. He’s been an assistant under Mike Martin at FSU before stops at Auburn and ultimately a HC position at UNC-Greensboro.
