For my 30th Birthday present my sweet husband got me and Jennifer tickets to go to the final farewell game for Biggio. It was so awesome! We got there and had to wait in line because it was completely sold out over 43,000 people came to see the Astros play (even though they are having a terrible year..) and to say good bye to a legend. There will never be another player like him- he is truly a player for kids to look up to... It was an awesome tribute to go and I am so glad that we got to go!!!
He was very humble, they had a ceremony before the game and he truly appreciated everything that was done for him and all of the fans that showed up to wish him well- he isn't a ball player that feels like he is entitled to all of the accolades given to him. He ran a victory lap around the stadium slapping hands with all of the fans and really did not want to leave the field... It was such a nice experience and I am so glad we got to go- glad Jennifer was able to make the trip with me, it was just like "old days!" :)
Go B-G-O!!! There will never be another like #7!!

Your hubbie is a keeper! What a wonderful idea for the best b'day present ever. Makes turning 30 not so bad, huh? (I'm still trying to get my mind wrapped around that fact!)
