Biggio & Bagwell Jerseys — Astros Throwback XXL-6X, XLT-5XLT
For the better part of two decades, Houston baseball ran through two men. Craig Biggio was the leadoff spark who caught, moved to second base, moved to the outfield, and never took an at-bat off. Jeff Bagwell was the slugging first baseman a famous trade practically handed to the Astros. Together they were the Killer B’s, and their uniforms are still the ones longtime fans reach for first. This page collects Biggio and Bagwell jerseys in big and tall sizes — Biggio’s full run link by link below, and Bagwell’s throwback routed through his own shop — because big and tall throwback jerseys for a pair like this should not stop at XL.
Below you’ll find both Hall of Famers: the No. 7 Biggio wore from the Astrodome years through a World Series, and the No. 5 Bagwell wore for fifteen seasons at first base. The jerseys run through the extended sizes up to 6X; the tall cuts ride on the Astros tees and apparel instead. Throwback jerseys big and tall are really two hunts at once — the uniform, and the tall fit.

Craig Biggio Jersey — the No. 7 Houston Wore for Twenty Years
The throwback below is the white Cooperstown-style Biggio from his prime — the uniform of the teams that turned the Astros from a punchline into a pennant winner. Biggio played the game like he was still trying to make the team: dirty uniform by the third inning, helmet flying off between bases. The photo links to his own department.

Astros fans of a certain age can date their fandom by this jersey. It covers the whole arc — the Killer B’s contenders of the late nineties, the move downtown, and the 2005 team that finally carried Houston to a World Series. Biggio never wore another uniform, and his No. 7 is retired.
Jeff Bagwell Jersey — the No. 5 From the Other Corner
Bagwell’s throwback is the other half of the infield: the low, wide batting stance, the crouch at first base, and 449 home runs, still the club record. Where Biggio’s page carries a full size run, Bagwell’s throwback lives in his own department rather than behind a size-by-size list, so the photo below opens his shop, and you pick your size from the stock inside.

Most fans who buy one Killer B end up wanting the other. They were a package for fifteen years — same lineup card, same October heartbreaks, same Hall of Fame stage — and the two throwbacks side by side tell the whole story of that era.
Killer B’s Sizing — Jerseys to 6X, Tall Cuts on Tees and Apparel
The size list below is Biggio’s run, and it changes doors partway down. The first stretch, S through 4X, runs through Biggio’s own player department. From 5X on up, and for every tall cut, the links open the full Astros men’s department already filtered to that size, where the throwback range continues. One honest split: the jerseys live in the regular extended sizes, while the tall cuts — XLT through 5XLT — are on the Astros tees and other apparel, because throwback jerseys aren’t cut in tall sizes. The tall links land on the department view where those tall pieces sit.
Fit notes: a baseball throwback is a button-front shirt with room built in, closer to a light jacket than a fitted tee, and most fans wear it over something. Between sizes and layering for a spring night game, the bigger size is usually the safer call. Tall fans should start with the tall-cut tees and apparel rather than sizing up a jersey — the extra body length is what a size-up can’t give you.
One honest note on stock: throwback sizes come and go — availability can shift with stock levels and the season, and the extended sizes usually move first. That’s why the larger half of the list opens the Astros’ full men’s department filtered to your size — if your fit is picked over, every other Astros option in your size is right there. The photo below opens that same department.

Interesting Facts About the Killer B’s
Houston drafted Biggio 22nd overall in 1987 out of Seton Hall — as a catcher. He caught, then moved to second base, then spent two seasons patrolling the outfield, then moved back to second — the rare star whose jersey covers three positions. He finished with 3,060 career hits, all of them in an Astros uniform, and the club retired his No. 7. Cooperstown called in 2015.
Bagwell’s route to Houston is the trade every front office still has nightmares about. Boston drafted him in 1989, then sent him to the Astros in 1990 for a middle reliever named Larry Andersen. Bagwell won National League Rookie of the Year in 1991, the NL MVP award in 1994, and hit 449 home runs before a bad shoulder ended it. Cooperstown followed in 2017; his No. 5 hangs retired next to Biggio’s 7.
Together they carried Houston to the 2005 World Series — the first in franchise history. Neither man won a ring, but few pairs have meant more to one city. Houston has kept the lineage going since: the current Astros wear the same colors on this site’s Astros City Connect jersey page, and the middle-of-the-order bat of this era gets his own run on the Yordan Alvarez jersey page.
Biggio & Bagwell Jerseys — Shopper Questions
Do Biggio and Bagwell jerseys come in big and tall sizes?
Yes. The jerseys run through the extended sizes — Biggio’s list below goes S through 6X — and the tall cuts from XLT to 5XLT are on the Astros tees and apparel. Biggio and Bagwell jerseys in big and tall sizes are routed through Biggio’s department and the Astros men’s department, every size on its own link.
Why do the 5X and tall links open the full Astros department?
Because that’s where those sizes live. Biggio’s own department carries his throwback through 4X; the 5X, 6X and tall views open the Astros men’s department filtered to your size, so you see the whole throwback range in your fit instead of one picked-over shelf.
Biggio or Bagwell — which throwback should I get?
It depends on your era of fandom. Biggio’s No. 7 is the twenty-year, three-position, 3,000-hit story, and his is the one with the full size list on this page. Bagwell’s No. 5 is the power half of the duo — the MVP season and the club home run record. Plenty of Houston fans end up owning both — they were rarely seen apart.
Would a Killer B’s throwback make a good gift?
For an Astros fan who lived through the nineties and the 2005 run, it’s about the safest gift in the catalog — two retired numbers and two Hall of Fame plaques attached to the names, and sizes that fit the fan you’re buying for.
