Default Hometown Heroes

Posted By: CN

I went to H.S. and played ball with future HOFer Craig Biggio at Kings Park H.S. on Long Island. He was also a great football player the best on the Island in 1984 his graduating year. I graduated in 1983. When he first started playing for the Astros he would come back and visit his close friends. Then he wanted no part of his hometown for about 12 years as he got famous and made millions. About 4 years ago he finally came back and they named the H.S. field after him. I know some of his H.S. buddies and they feel slighted by him but that probably happens often in similiar cases when one makes it big. Sadly his father passed away last week but at least got to see him get 3000 hits. CN I have no scans of him as an Astro. I am going to go through some pictures in my basement and try to find some H.S. pictures but I doubt if I have any.
