With his third wife and girlfriend, Rachel Bagwell, he has five children in total. His pair of cleats from the 2000 season were turned in for display at the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum. [77], Nominated to his fourth career All-Star Game, Bagwell to that point in the season had scored or driven in 28.6% of the Astros' runs, the highest portion of a team's offense for which any one player in MLB accounted. On June 24, he hit three home runs against the Los Angeles Dodgers at the Astrodome two in the same inning in a 164 rout, becoming the first Astro since Glenn Davis in 1990 to do so. [150] He spent the first nine seasons of his career (199199) playing home games at the Astrodome, notorious for its reputation as the toughest park in which to hit when baseball was still played there. Although he has average speed, he's one of the game's smartest baserunners. He would hit another three home runs with six walks in nine August games[34] before a pitch from Andy Benes fractured his left hand on August 10 and ended his season in the same manner the season before. [59] For the month of May, he batted .360 with .740 SLG, 10 home runs, 31 RBI, 22 runs scored, and four stolen bases. He scooped a ground ball batted from Hideki Matsui and relayed it to Billy Wagner covering first base, the final of a record six pitchers participating in the feat. Jeff Bagwell - Baseball-Reference.com [76], In a presentation of rankings of active major leaguers prior to the 2000 season, Sports Illustrated slotted Bagwell second among position players behind Ken Griffey Jr., and The Sporting News placed him sixth among all players, including pitchers. Bagwell offered his opinion on the trade five years later. In June, he hit 13 home runs, establishing an Astros' franchise record for one month, while batting .394, 11 doubles, .455 OBP, .899 SLG, and 1.354 OPS. Former teammate and long-time friend Biggio had just logged his 3,000th career hit in the seventh inning against the Colorado Rockies. [40] His production accelerated in 26 games after the All-Star break, batting .432, .530 OBP, .916 SLG, 1.446 OPS, 10 doubles, 12 home runs, 34 RBI and 30 runs scored. On September 18, 2004, Bagwell collected his 1,500th career RBI with a single in the third inning against the Brewers.
