 HOUSTON (AP) - Craig Biggio joined the 3,000 hit club and Carlos Lee hit a grand slam in the 11th inning as the Houston Astros beat the Colorado Rockies 8-5 Thursday night.
Biggio met the 15-year-old Frankie Velasquez through his work with The Sunshine Kids Foundation, an organization which helps children with cancer, when Velasquez was 6 and has kept in touch with him since.
"He's one of a kind," Velasquez said. "He's done so much for us Sunshine Kids and I'll always be grateful to him. Seeing this happen was a once in a lifetime experience."
