Did anybody watch last night's Cal Ripken celebration? Ten years ago, I had the pleasure of being at game 2,131 -- what an experience.

Want to talk about a player's value? There was a guy who earned a relatively modest salary, yet he excelled for 21 years, was universally admired and respected, and continues to give back to his community. Oh, yeah...he also had this amazing work ethic...

Lori:

I feel the same way about Al Kaline, who played for the Tigers back in the 50's and 60's. He was the first member of his family to graduate from high school. And went straight to baseball - no minor league or college baseball. won the batting title at age 20. one year he was offered the 'enormous' sum of $100,000 and turned it down saying he wasn't good enough. one of those rare players who only played for 1 team.

I suppose he holds the dubious record of being the only player with 3000 hits yet a career batting avg under .300 (only .297). He was 1 shy of 400 homers, and 3 shy of 500 doubles.
