COOPERSTOWN, N. Brandon Workman Red Sox Jersey .Y. - Craig Biggio was kind of speechless after completing his pre-induction tour of the Baseball Hall of Fame.This is crazy! Biggio said Friday, sitting in the Plaque Gallery of the hall. Im kind of speechless. Its an overwhelming feeling, incredible feeling. I dont know what to say right now.Thats understandable, given its been less than a month since he was elected to the Hall of Fame. Perhaps it all hasnt quite sunk in yet.Biggio was elected Jan. 6, joining Randy Johnson, Pedro Martinez and John Smoltz, who made the 75 per cent threshold by big margins on their first tries to become the first trio of pitchers voted in together by baseball writers.Biggio received 82.7 per cent of the votes, making it on his third attempt after falling two votes shy last year. The wait hardly mattered.Were in, said Biggio, glancing at his smiling wife Patty. Were honoured. Last year, hey, we came really close. Hopefully, this year was going to be the year and then it was. I never looked at it as waiting three years. Were just honoured and humbled that were in.The seven-time All-Star, who played catcher, second base and the outfield, retired in 2007 with 3,060 hits, and his 668 doubles are the major league high for a right-handed batter. He also was hit by pitches 285 times, second all-time by just two to Hughie Jennings. He finished his career with 291 homers, 1,175 RBIs, 1,161 walks, 414 stolen bases and 1,844 runs. Biggio also is the only player in major league history with 600 doubles, 250 homers, 3,000 hits and 400 steals.He takes pride in playing his entire career with one organization — the Houston Astros. He competed longer than any other player in franchise history, donning the uniform for 20 seasons. Hell be the first player in franchise history to be inducted when he formally enters the Hall of Fame on July 26.It means a lot to me, he said of the Astros cap on his plaque. Im wearing it for every guy in the Astros organization. This is for all of us.A native of Kings Park on New Yorks Long Island, Biggio said he visited the Hall of Fame as a kid with his family but didnt remember much. Rest assured he wont forget this trip.Downstairs where the Hall of Fame stores thousands of artifacts that arent on display, he picked up a bat Babe Ruth used in his heyday in the 1920s, marveling, Ive got to pick that thing up again.After gazing at a box of balls signed by former New York Yankees slugger Mickey Mantle, he said joking, Can you take this out to my car?Its like stepping back in the past, Biggio said. I just wanted to take it all in and appreciate everything.Biggio is one of just 11 players in big-league history with at least 3,000 career hits and 1,800 career runs scored. Eight of the other 10 are in the Hall of Fame: Ty Cobb, Hank Aaron, Stan Musial, Tris Speaker, Carl Yastrzemski, Eddie Collins, Willie Mays and Rickey Henderson. The other two on that list are recently retired Yankees star Derek Jeter, whos not yet eligible for the Hall of Fame, and all-time hits leader Pete Rose, whos serving a lifetime ban from baseball.When he entered the Plaque Gallery at tours end, Biggio made sure to look at plaques of several of his heroes — from Yogi Berra, who scouted Biggio when he starred at Seton Hall in New Jersey, to fellow Long Islander Yastrzemski, to Jennings, and the late Cubs great Ernie Banks, who died last week.I was just a little kid from Long Island, Biggio said. Now, Im sitting in a chair that says Hall of Fame.

The 25-year-old accomplished that by scoring the game-winning goal with 48 seconds left in regulation time to lift the Montreal Canadiens to a 3-2 victory over the rival Boston Bruins on Tuesday night. Bowman cashed in on some hustle from linemate Christian Thomas, who won a race in the Boston zone and fed the puck across the crease. Bowman lifted it over goalie Malcolm Subban, who otherwise had a strong period of action with nine saves on 10 shots. Ill take it," said Bowman. "I just tried to get it up as quick as I can. Any goal feels good, exhibition or not." The Grand Rapids, Mich. native has played 176 NHL games, including 70 last season, for the Carolina Hurricanes, but now is trying to earn a contract with Montreal. A goal and an assist, even against a far-from complete Bruins lineup, should help. "I try not to pay too much attention to that stuff," he said. "Ill let my play speak for itself. "Ive played a few games in this league, so I know what these training camp battles are about. Its uncertain for me. I just wanted to come in and play the best I can and try to fit in somehow." Coach Michel Therrien said it was too early to tell if Bowman will earn a contract, but said his performance was "a first step in the right direction." Thomas had the tying goal in the second period and emerged with two points. The 22-year-old son of former NHL winger Steve Thomas is looking to erase the memory of the 2013 training camp, which ended with an injury. "Last year at this time exactly I hurt myself and I was out for about fouur months," said Thomas. Josh Taylor Red Sox Jersey. "This time, Im healthy and ready to prove myself." Jiri Sekac had Montreals other goal. Ryan Spooner and Matt Fraser scored in the first period for Boston. Only 1:17 in, first round pick Nikita Scherbaks blind backpass was picked off by Spooner, who went in alone to beat Dustin Tokarski. The teams exchanged power-play goals, with Fraser sniping from the slot at 9:12 and Sekac beating Niklas Svedberg on a shot that went off David Krejcis stick at 19:52. Svedberg was solid in the second, but Thomas tied the game on a power play at 16:49 from a wild scramble in front of the net. The Bell Centre crowd greeted Subban, brother of Canadiens defenceman P.K. Subban, with raspberries as he took over in Bostons goal for the third frame. Subban stopped Joe Finlay in alone and made an alert save on Scherbak from the slot before giving up the winner. Joey MacDonald, who stopped all 14 shots he faced, relieved Tokarski midway through the second. Tokarski allowed two goals on 10 shots. Michael McCarron, Montreals 2013 first-round pick, suffered an arm or shoulder injury late in the second period when he went to the net against Bostons David Warsofsky. He did not return. The team said he has an upper-body injury. As is usual for early pre-season games, both sides rested most of their regulars. So Boston was without Milan Lucic, Zdeno Chara, Tuukka Rask and other stars. Montreals first line, top defenceman Subban and goalie Carey Price were among the scratches for the Canadiens. The Canadiens next have back-to-back exhibitions against the Colorado Avalanche, Thursday in Montreal and Friday in Quebec City. ' ' '
