Charitable Biggio brings 'Sunshine' to Minute Maid

HOUSTON -- The smiles of the young faces were enough to brighten anyone's day. Hall of Fame second baseman Craig Biggio might have had the biggest smile of all Monday morning when he played host to dozens of kids at his annual Sunshine Kids party on the field at Minute Maid Park.

Biggio and his wife, Patty, invited dozens of kids and their parents to the party, in which kids ran the bases and roamed around the field before being treated to lunch, an autograph session and an Astros goodie bag. Biggio is the national spokesman for the non-profit Sunshine Kids, an organization that assists children with cancer and their families.
