Okay - I know I said this blog was going to be for my experiences in Rome, but I just have to give a shout out to by guy Craig Biggio for getting to 3,000 hits last Thursday! Biggio has been my favorite player for as long as I an remember watching baseball & when I think of the Houston Astros I think of Craig Biggio. I'm so happy for him - he's such a great guy & it is fantastic he has reached 3,000 in his career and will be in the selected club of hitters to reach this number... and all with the Astros!
My sister e-mailed me with the news & when I read it about at day later I had to go online and watch all the videos & the press conference right away (even though it was after midnight here!). I was a bit sad that I didn't see it live & that I can't go to the game where they will commemorate his hitting record with my sister. I'm the type of person that would be wearing my Biggio jersey while watching the game & jumping up and down (in my living room or at the game) when he made the hit! ;-)
I figured since I'm in Rome & can't do that I will at least share my excitement by writing this blog!

I was excited for him as well! I remember going to see games when I was young and hearing his name. I wish I could find my old baseball card set from back then...but I think it's long gone now. That stinks. It'd probably be worth something someday. Oh well.
Looks like you're learning a lot! I hope someday I can live out there. I've been reading your blog like a manual so I know what to expect if I ever do get there!
