If you think Biggio was that tall, you're kidding yourself. Biggio is about 5'7-5'8
Have you met him? I have and I'm 6'2''. He wasn't that much shorter than me. He's definitely 5'11''

Maybe Altuve is an oompa loompa.
All I know is I met Biggio when I was like 9 at a CompUSA. And my dad, who is 6 foot even, was much taller than Biggio was.

When you're 9 the world looks a little different. Is that really what you're basing your argument on?
Regardless of how old I was, it doesn't change the fact that my dad was considerably taller than him. I bet y'all always believe the heights put on athletes. Used to watch wrestling? I bet you believed The Giant was 7'3 and 500 pounds.
I don't believe posted heights and weights, but I do believe that they are fairly consistent throughout all players. Also there's no way a posted height is 3" off. That's ridiculous
If you follow recruiting at all, Daylon Mack was listed at 6'3" for a long while.
Something tells me that Biggio wouldn't have to jump quite that high to reach Carlos Lee's hand

Altuve is substantially shorter than biggio..... Come on man
I played third base in high school. We played against the school Biggio coaches one year, and he was coaching third base. I'm 5'8 and he was a good two of three inches taller than me. I even had metal cleats on.
Met biggio in St. Louis a few years back. I'm just a hair under 5'11 and we were damn near eye to eye. Also bagwell was taller than me. But none of that changes the fact that Altuve has built himself into a damn good player and changing that now would have adverse affects on his career
I'll give him 5'9.25" and not a millimeter more
because what you give him matters.
Bottom line is this was a conversation about Altuves season and potential. Why change what has been absolutely phenomenal this year?

Just stop
Y'all stop arguing about Biggio's height or Carlos Lee will come back from the dead and hit you with a bat.

How long do you want to ignore this user?
Bagwell was a little taller than me and I am 5'11"
tough crowd.
I'm 5'9" and I haven't met anyone famous to hop in on the comparison game.

No we just don't agree with people who are supporting false accusations

yes. I'm fabricating these ideas for personal gain. I'm making up lies for absolutely no reason. It's not being dishonest if you 100% believe in what you are saying. I was exaggerating with 5'7. But there is no way on earth he is 5'11, unless you count cleat height.
Guys, Astros seasons are hard enough without being mean to each other. We need to stick together.
Yet countless people on this board have admitted to meeting him and stating he's absolutely 5'11'' and NO WHERE near Altuves height like you first alluded to. Have a good night,
My new goal is to go find, Craig. And take a picture with him next to a tape measure.

11 more games to win to not break 100 losses this year. Let's do this!
