Craig Biggio’s Game-Used Helmet and Pants: A Testament to Baseball Excellence

A Legendary Career

Craig Biggio, an illustrious figure in the world of baseball, is celebrated for his remarkable achievements and versatility on the field. A seven-time All-Star, five-time Silver Slugger, and four-time Gold Glove winner, Biggio’s career is a testament to his exceptional talent and dedication. Recently inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame, he remains the only player to have been named an All-Star both as a catcher and a second baseman, a feat that underscores his unique skill set and adaptability.

The Helmet: A Symbol of Biggio’s Legacy

The game-used helmet, a significant piece of baseball memorabilia, bears the “AMERICAN BASEBALL CAP” manufacturer’s stamp on the underside of the brim. Inside, a sticker indicates the size “7¼” and features the player number “7” in black marker. The back of the helmet displays a white decal of the player number “7,” with the “ABC” logo sticker positioned below. The front is adorned with the iconic Houston “H” logo in orange and white. Biggio’s autograph graces the brim in silver marker, accompanied by the inscription “#7,” with the signature rated a strong 8 in our expert opinion. Presented to us as game-used, the helmet exhibits excellent use, characterized by transfer marks and numerous scuffs on the outer dome.

The Pants: A Piece of Baseball History

Complementing the helmet are Biggio’s game-used pants, which further enrich this collection of sports memorabilia. The inner rear waistband features the “Rawlings” manufacturer’s tag, size “34,” and wash instructions. Adjacent is a white strip tag embroidered with “BIGGIO 91 34 24 1” in navy blue, alongside a flag tag reading “SET 1 1991.” Above the left rear pocket, the Rawlings “R” is embroidered in navy blue. These pants, presented to us as game-used, show signs of wear, including a significant repair on the back of the right leg.
