Career Hits All Time Top 30

By Robert H. Kelly

As Craig Biggio marches towards 3000 career hits, I felt it would be nice to post the All Time Career Hit Lists Top 30 players. There are some great names on the list.

When Biggio does joins the "3000 Hits Club" he will be in an elite group. Add that to the fact that he did it with the same team makes the accomplishment all that more remarkable.

Each player is linked to their biography page on Wikipedia
