Cal Ripken was definitely a class act, but I would also have to put 2 others in that category, Ernie Banks from the Cubs, and most recently, Mr. Padre, Tony Gwynn. 73,

I used to think that, until the cry babies went out on strike, then almost did it a second time. Since the strike, there has only been one Major League baseball player that I thought had any class, and Mr. Ripkin just happened to play at Camden Yards.

I spend my money on college sports now, where only the coaches make millions and act like cry babies.......but they get their ass fired when they piss people off !!!!!

A civilized game, where men have bats and swing them aggressively. They play on a "diamond" and the goal is to "go home". Great Game. America's game, really......
