Craig Biggio’s Game-Used Jersey: A Testament to Baseball Excellence

A Legendary Career

Inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 2015, Craig Biggio stands as a paragon of baseball excellence. His illustrious career with the Houston Astros is marked by seven All-Star selections, five Silver Slugger Awards, and membership in the prestigious 3,000-hit club. Biggio’s legacy is immortalized with the retirement of his No. 7 jersey by the Astros, a team he dedicated his entire MLB career to.

The Jersey’s Distinctive Features

This remarkable jersey, a piece of baseball memorabilia, is a testament to Biggio’s enduring impact on the sport. The front left tail features the Majestic manufacturer’s tag, size “46”. Across the chest, “Astros” is elegantly scripted in tan on red on black embroidery, with the player number “7” prominently displayed below in black on red on tan tackle twill. The back of the jersey showcases the player name “BIGGIO” on a red nameplate, with the number “7” beneath it, both crafted in tan on red on black tackle twill.

  • Team Logo: The left sleeve bears an Astros team logo patch above a “Majestic” logo.
  • Official Branding: An official “MLB” logo adorns the back collar.
  • Signature and Inscription: Biggio has signed the back of the jersey in black marker, adding the inscription “HOF 15”, which in our opinion rates a 9.
