It’s not Cooperstown, but it’s still an honor. Long Island native Craig Biggio, who fell two votes shy of induction to the National Baseball Hall of Fame earlier last month, was inducted to the Ted Williams Hitters Hall of Fame at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Fla. last weekend.

Biggio, who grew up in and played baseball at Kings Park, played 20 big league seasons with the Houston Astros. He has 3,060 career hits and was a lifetime .281 hitter with 668 doubles, 291 home runs, 1,175 RBI and 1,161 walks.

Biggio received 74.8 percent of the necessary 75 percent of voters for induction to the Baseball Hall of Fame.
