Ripken, played through with injuries and bruises and was only hurting the team. He mentions that his approach to the game was that every player should come to the ballpark willing to put himself in the hands of the mgr. Which is true, but if there were no streak going I'm sure his name would have been omitted from the starting lineup while he was hurt. With the streak going they didn't dare sit, Ripken. Also, (as far as I'm concerned) a player in order to get credit for playing a game should at least play five innings, which Ripken didn't do in many games. But, hey, don't get me wrong; I will always think Ripken was an excellent player, only he doesn't deserve this title I'm talking about. Any comments?
