Product Description
DIVOne of baseball's renowned photographers captures this future hall-of-famer in this commemorative keepsake, recording Craig Biggio's last game in the major leagues. Unlike many current ball players, who rarely spend their careers with a single club, Biggio spent his entire 20-year career with the Houston Astros. He is a sports treasure in Houston and a baseball great, who racked up more than 3,000 hits and was selected as a National League All-Star seven times. He played his last game in front of a record crowd at Minute Maid Park, and this visual record captures the emotion and drama of that day in unforgettable photographs./DIV

A great book September 22, 2008
Bill Ferguson
I am not a big sports fan, but I was very moved by this book. It actually creates the experience of that last game. The photos are amazing and the book is first class in its design and presentation. I was surprises to find out how little it was selling for. This book is a piece of art.

Paula S. Guillot (Southern USA)
The book was awesome, it did arrived damaged by UPS, they sat the package outside my office late Friday and it rained on it all weekend - the book was not in plastic so therefore the binding was ruined - I did get my money back from Amazon - the book itself was very much worth the reasonable price, anyone that is a Craig Biggio fan would cherish this book, the photos were so emotional and so clear and vivid that you feel like you are at the game.
Wonderful - absolutely wonderful!!! August 21, 2008

I was at this game, and being a displaced Astros and mainly Biggio fan this will be something that I truly treasure forever.

This is an absolutely incredible book. Many thanks to Michael Hart for deciding to put this out. I was at the last game, with standing room only tickets and it was an unbelievable atmosphere to be a part of as everyone celebrated 20 years of grit, hustle, humility, and leadership that is Craig Biggio. Unfortunately from my perspective I wasn't able to see every moment, facial expression, etc that happened that day, but thanks to Hart, I can now enjoy and remember that day on many levels. br / br /A must have for any Astros fan or any true baseball fan in general who wants to let their kids know how the game of baseball once was.
