Cue the specious "the Hall of Fame is way, way watered down" argument that has somehow gained a footing....(only heaven knows why)
Quite simply, if Craig Biggio is not inducted the whole institution lacks any semblance of credibility.
3000+ hits, 400+ stolen bases, nearly 300 home runs, four gold gloves.
If he put up those numbers in New York or Boston he'd be mentioned among the greatest ever and statues would be erected everywhere. As such, a lack of exposure in Houston or having played on perennially great teams hurts him.
