Cal Ripken is the most recent icon in MLB - someone who passed one of the games historic standards - particularly because the consecutive game mark set by Lou Gehrig was thought to be a record that would never be broken.
A few random thoughts after visiting the park:
1. Why is there a Cal Ripken quote on a plaque in Nats Park? He is amazing no doubt but if they allowed a spot for all the amazing players to have quotes on their walls there would be no space left. Just seems odd.
