Er, wait, this garbage is over isn't it. Ah hell, flame away at Kobe or Iverson, whichever is the flavor this week.

No silly, we're talking about Cal Ripken now.

Hero or Zero?

Cal Ripken? Neither hero or zero, in between. My dad worked at the same job for 35 years without ever missing a day. and it was a high energy, stressful, physical job too. many many Americans do it, so why make a big deal if Ripken does it.

He was a pretty good short stop when he was younger, but for about the last 7 years or so he has been mediocre. However, 3000 hits and 400 HR's will put him in the hall and he does deserve it.

As for his consecutive game record, I say big deal, I think Brett Favre's 160 game record is much more impressive.

It's a big deal for Ripken considering that not many pro-baseball players do it.
