COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. - Craig Biggio says he's ''kind of speechless'' after completing his pre-induction tour of the Baseball Hall of Fame.

He was elected Jan. 6, joining Randy Johnson, Dennis Martinez and John Smoltz, who made the 75 percent threshold by big margins to become the first trio of pitchers voted in together by baseball writers.

Biggio received 82.7 percent of the votes, making it on his third attempt after falling two votes shy last year.

A native of Kings Park on New York's Long Island, Biggio says he visited the Hall of Fame as a kid with his family but didn't remember much. Rest assured he won't forget this trip.

The induction ceremony is July 26.
