Saturday, a friend of mine from St. Louis asked what it meant to me to see Craig Biggio go into the Hall of Fame. Suddenly, I was transported to the Astrodome watching Biggio streak around first in his Blue and Gold ‘Stros uniform. I remember the feeling that Houston never got the respect it deserved as a baseball town, and I remember my brother and father being right next to me the whole time. I told my friend that Biggio’s induction was like we, as fans and Houstonians, were all getting in as well.
Houston has a bit of an inferiority complex.
