“Ripken has established new standards for durability and power for the shortstop position.  While the typical Hall of Fame SS normed 6 homers per year, Cal has averaged more than 4 per MONTH in his career.  Replacing Aparicio’s speed with slugging, he otherwise compares closely to Little Louie.”

Ripken was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2007.
