Actually there ARE some knocks against Ripken. He doesn't always travel with the team, and some call him "an aristocrat"!!!

Lemme see, how does that stack up against multiple drug busts, and dating (??) Madonna?

In yesterday's paper he headed the list of "Most over-rated players". Gimme a break!

Chris, you're right about Radke. There's a few others that got overlooked as well. Back in the "good ol' days" the sportswriters and players and Managers (I think) picked the all-stars. Seems the fans want their faves and aren't worried about stats....although the manager still picks the pitchers.
