Didn't see this posted yet. Not altogether unexpected, but it's shocking to see the fears realized. A sad day for Astros fans, and for fans of the game. The end of an era. If this is goodbye, Jeff, know that the fans will think of the triumphs of yesteryear when they hear your name. And chances are you'll be part of the team for many years to come, even if you cannot play. I look forward to your being the first Astro inducted into the Hall of Fame.

In my opinion he was one of the best players of the 90's and an easy HoF'er. Hopefully the baseball writers think so too. He didn't get 500 home runs, but his on base percentage is over 400 and he scored over 1500 runs, while driving in over 1500. I'd like to see him and Biggio get in first ballot.
And I'm a Met's fan. :)

I guess Bagwell wasn't a steroid abuser. My bad.
