There's never been any debate which team Craig Biggio would represent in Cooperstown, because he only played for one. But that's not making the decision on what hat to wear any easier.

Biggio says he's still deciding which Houston Astros logo to sport when he's inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame next month. He wore three generations of hats during his 20-year career.

"It's something that we're talking about as a family, trying to figure out which one to select," Biggio told the Houston Chronicle on Saturday. "There's only 214 guys, 218 people that are player-wise that are in that building. It's a big deal. We're going up there next week (to Cooperstown), really excited to get up there and take it all in and see it all."

Biggio, who was elected to the Hall earlier this month alongside Randy Johnson, Pedro Martinez and John Smoltz, said each logo represents an important chapter in his career.

"The late 80s, early 90s, was special times for me," he recalled. "The late 90s were even more special from the standpoint of, we were a brotherhood, man. We all came up in the minors together for the most part, we hung out as families together. And the late 2000s, the magical years that we had here. I got fond memories of 'em all."

Below is a look at the three logos under consideration:

1988-93

1994-99

2000-07
