The closest Ripken came to missing a game was after Kevin Costner slept with his wife. Ripken was emotionally distraught and his hand was probably hurting after administering a beating to the Postman. Luckily, the Orioles agreed to cancel the game that night and give Ripken a day to recover. True story.

I never found Ripken to be that interesting. Good player and all, but he really only had two great seasons. The rest of the time, he was just an above-average player.

An inspiration to prematurely gray and balding men everywhere.

Ripken is a wonderful player. Always enjoyed watching him. I played womens softball for 25 yrs and he has been an inspiration.
