Biggio Wins Munson Award

Craig Biggio grew up idolizing Thurman Munson, so it was appropriate that he win the Thurmon Munson Award for excellence in competition and philanthropic work within the community. Biggio retired after 20 years in the bigs, that included picking up his 3,000th hit this past season.

Joining Biggio in receiving awards are the Yankees Melky Cabrera, the Mets David Wright, Knicks guard Jamal Crawford and figure skater Kristi Yamaguchi. The awards will be presented at the 28th annual Thurman Munson Awards Dinner at the Marriott Marquis Hotel in New York.

The AHRC New York City Foundation benefits from the event, with money going to assist children and adults with developmental disabilities.
