The Bvich Report

Houston Astro Jeff Bagwell announced his retirement today.

Bagwell played for the Astros for 15 seasons. He is the team leader in home runs, RBIs and extra base hits.

Bagwell, along with Craig Biggio, did something that is almost unthinkable in sports today; he played his entire career for one team. This yankee boy from Massachusetts came on down to Texas and made this place his home. He always did great things for the community and has said many times that Houston is now his home.

I grew up watching Bagwell and Biggio play, and they will forever be #1 in my heart for what they have done for my city, both on the field and off. I grew up watching these guys play ball, and while it will be sad the day their numbers are retired, at the same time it will bring back all the great memories that Astros fans have had over the last 15 years.

Houston would not be the same without Jeff Bagwell, and he will forever be one of my two favorite athletes, with Biggio being the other. Heres to a first ballot Hall-of-Famer!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you for 15 great seasons Jeff.
