Surprised this has gone by with no discussion. Craig Biggio is the first Big East baseball player enshrined into the Baseball Hall of Fame. He is a Seton Hall alumni.

Nice picture, but Gibson played zero games in the Big East and went into the Hall L O N G before Creighton even thought about being in any conference. I believe they were independent at the time Bob played at Creighton.

Gibson was a stud! He brought it every game. I have heard funny stories from Tim McCarver about how Gibson didn't ever want Tim to visit the mound.

Loved the way Biggio played. Tough, gutty guy.
