His season averages are
.276 average....23 homeruns....93rbis
His best year was
.323 average...34 homeruns...114 rbis
neither of those numbers are impressive for Hall of Fame Players
His highlight of his career is breaking Lou Gerhig record of consecutive games played. But that wasnt even a highlight of Gerhig's career. Ripken also hurt his team during this streak, the pressure to play everyday even hurt or sick made Ripkens team hurt.
Ripkens career stats when looked at are impressive, he has over 3,000 hits, over 400 homeruns and over 1500 rbi. But these stats are over a 21 year career. All that means was he was a decent player that played a long time
Yes he did change the way of shortstops are viewed in Baseball but he is not by any means a great player.
