Craig Alan Biggio (; born December 14, 1965) is an American former
second baseman and
catcher in
Major League Baseball who played his entire career from 1988 through 2007 for the
Houston Astros. A seven-time
National League (NL)
All-Star often regarded as the greatest all-around player in Astros history, he is the only player ever to be named an All-Star at both catcher and second base. With longtime teammates
Jeff Bagwell and
Lance Berkman, he formed the core of the "Killer B's" who led Houston to six playoff appearances from 1997 to 2005, culminating in the franchise's only
World Series appearance in
2005. At the end of his career he ranked sixth in NL history in
games played (2,850), fifth in
at bats (10,876), eighth in
hits (3,060) and seventh in
runs scored (1,844). His 668 career
doubles ranked fifth in major league history, and are the most ever by a right-handed hitter; his 56 doubles in 1999 were the most in the major leagues in 63 years.
