HOUSTON -- The rigorous cancer treatments and dim hospital lighting were replaced by smiles, laughter and hope on a bright Wednesday afternoon at Minute Maid Park. And perhaps no one was smiling more than Hall of Fame second baseman Craig Biggio, whose annual Sunshine Kids party provided kids with cancer a chance to play baseball with a legend and leave their troubles behind.

About 100 kids, all of whom are battling some form of cancer, and their families got to take some swings against the former big leaguer on the field and run the bases before being treated to lunch.
