HOUSTON (AP) -- Craig Biggio feels he has nothing left to prove on a baseball field.

After a 20-year career in which he stayed with one franchise, played multiple positions at an All-Star level and joined the elite 3,000 hit club, the Houston Astros infielder said Tuesday he will retire at the end of this season.

"There are a lot of guys that have the game taken away from them by injury," he said. "For me to be able to walk away now, on top, on my own accord, I'm very happy with that. I'm in a good place. I think I've done everything that I was supposed to do on a baseball field. I have nothing to be disappointed about."

Biggio began Tuesday with a .247 batting average with 24 doubles, five homers and 31 RBIs.
