For more than 20 years, Astros Hall of Famer Craig Biggio and his wife Patty have worked with Sunshine Kids, a nonprofit dedicated to kids with cancer and their families. On Oct. 26, Craig and Patty hosted families at their annual baseball party at Minute Maid Park. Children had the opportunity to run the bases, play ball in the field with Craig, sit in the dugout and enjoy lunch in the Diamond Club as Craig signed autographs.
