Michael Hart is a professional photographer and owner of Michael Hart Photography in Houston, Texas. He has worked with the Houston Astros since 1989. Larry Dierker is the color commentator for the Houston Astros radio and television broadcasts. He is a former major league pitcher and manager.
One of baseball's renowned photographers captures this future hall-of-famer in this commemorative keepsake, recording Craig Biggio's last game in the major leagues. Unlike many current ball players, who rarely spend their careers with a single club, Biggio spent his entire twenty-year career with the Houston Astros. He is a sports treasure in Houston and a baseball great, who racked up more than three thousand hits and was selected as a National League All-Star seven times. He played his last game in front of a record crowd at Minute Maid Park, and this visual record captures the emotion and drama of that day in unforgettable photographs.
Displays, besides expert craftsmanship, the closeness and affection of a family album.
