Jeff Bagwell called it quits today, officially. Bagwell retires as the Houston Astros' all-time leader in home runs (449), RBI (1529), walks (1401), and extra-base hits (969). He had a lifetime .297 average, made the All-Star teams four times, and won the 1994 NL MVP award.
A workaholic and a standout both at the plate and with the glove, Bagwell's most important contribution, in my opinion, is the class that he brought to the game. Never controversial, never a problem, always giving his all for the team. Bags was simply a joy to watch, and he'll be missed.
