    We of course know he's wearing an Astros cap, but which one?

    He probably wore quite a few variations, but there were 3 primary caps, the H-Star, the late 90's gold star, and the red star from the MMP era.

    I personally think he should wear the cap he wore when he was at the peak of his powers,the gold star. Others may want him to wear the H-star cap, which most would agree best represents the Astros, but to me it doesn't best represent the Craig Biggio Astros.

    He said the late 90s shooting star jersey was his favorite. I'll same he would go with the gold star.

    Yep, I heard that yesterday.

    Can't go wrong with any choice IMO. Astros have been blessed with good uni's throughout the years and the popularity isn't just local. You can find Astros caps at almost any Foot Locker or Foot Action across the country.

    H-Town reppin nationwide!!!!

    Reminiscent of Lance saying he "always wanted to play for STL" when he played there.

    Gold star, no contest. My favorite jersey/hat combination be far, and probably the one people most associate with Biggio.

    Not an Astros fan, but from a purely aesthetic point of view I thought their brick colored MMP era unis were the best, so red star.

    I think you gotta go with the Gold star since thats what he wore when he was at his best... I never really like that uni cause it just screams 90's to me but its better than the pinstripe uni

    Would be kinda awkward that he gets that hat/logo in the HOF, but his own team didn't put the gold shooting star on his retired jersey "plaque" at MMP (I believe Dierker is the only one that has that logo... Bagwell and Craig with the brick-sand star).

    Yup. I was living in Colorado at the time and was loving the talk radio after he turned down the Rockies to stay in Houston...

    No... but they probably should have ran it by him before just putting up the brick/sand star (I believe that was still under the Drayton era, where the brick/sand was more about his personal company than it was about the Astros).

    They also had a chance to re-do it when they re-did the retired numbers to reflect the new color schemes.

    Honestly, they should just all use the current new/old logo... which will be the logo for the rest of time.

    H Star would be my preference. The HoF is forever. It would be nice if our first guy in is using what will probably be a more permanent logo.
