ESPN - Biggio to retire after season - MLB

One of my favorite baseball players of all time is retiring after this season. Craig Biggio of the Houston Astros is hanging up the spikes. Biggio will be a Hall of Famer some day. He is "the only player in major league history with 600 doubles, 250 homers, 3,000 hits and 400 steals. Biggio is a career .282 hitter. "

Trivia question: Biggio is one of six players to have over 3,000 hits -- ALL WITH ONE TEAM. Name the other five ... I'll leave the answer in the comments.

From the ESPN article: "The others in the 3,000 hit club who played for one team: Stan Musial of the Cardinals (3,630), Carl Yastrzemski of the Red Sox (3,419), Cal Ripken of the Orioles (3,184), George Brett of the Royals (3,154), Robin Yount of the Brewers (3,142). Tony Gwynn of the Padres (3,141), Al Kaline of the Tigers (3,007) and Roberto Clemente of the Pirates (3,000)."

I actually named them all without being prompted.
