Biggio weekend on tap

The Astros announced that Craig Biggio Tribute Weekend will be held Sept. 28-30 at Minute Maid Park. During the final series of the season against the Atlanta Braves, Biggio and his teammates will wear a uniform from each era of Biggio's career.
The Astros will open that three-game series wearing the rainbow-sleeve jersey from the late 1980s. Afterward, the Astros will give those game-used jerseys to random fans. The Marathon Oil Corp.'s firework night, weather permitting, will be held Friday and Saturday on the final weekend of the season.
Also, the first 20,000 fans will receive a Biggio rainbow-sleeve jersey T-Shirts.
On that Saturday, Biggio and Co. will wear the gold-star uniforms from the 1990s, and those game-worn jerseys will be auctioned to raise funds for Biggio's favorite charity, the Sunshine Kids.
The Astros will conclude the season wearing the current brick red jerseys, auctioning off those jerseys for the Astros in Action Foundation. Also on that Sunday, the first 20,000 fans will receive a Biggio jersey T-Shirt and commemorative "I Was There" Biggio Tribute Weekend cards.
