Craig Biggio dons 2000's Astros cap for his plaque

It's been eight years in the waiting for Astros fans. It's been eight years waiting for the city of Houston and the state of Texas in general. Now it becomes a reality today. Craig Biggio led off the inductees, appropriately as the Astros greatest leadoff hitter.

After Biggio was introduced, his plaque was given to him before he spoke. On that plaque is the 2000's Astros cap. The Astros switched to the black, brick, and gold uniforms as the Astros move to Enron Field (Now Minute Maid Park). The Astros wore this hat during the 2005 World Series against the White Sox.

The plaque reads:
