Biggio is just the grand champion of all the "little things" people like to rant about. He stole bases at a high percentage. He didn't just draw walks, but he holds the HBP record. He rarely hit into double plays. He was just a guy who just crushed those "hidden" parts of baseball. His later career drove a lot of his ratios down, all in the quest for 3000 hits. Which is just a silly round number, honestly.

I agree with all of that, but this is the HOF. Not the hall of little things.

I want the best of all time there.

I was a big fan of Biggio. I can't justify him as a HOFer. Like I said all he has to stand on is the 3k hits. Which is a great milestone. But it shouldn't automatically put you in.
