One of the reasons Biggio scored so many runs was that he hit 668 career doubles, which is 6th all time.
He also got hit by pitches at an alarming rate--285 in his career, which is 2 behind Hughie Jennings' career best. He got hit by 34 pitches in 1997 alone, a year in which he scored 146 runs.
And he stole over 400 bases in his career.
