W.M.Ripken's record breaking moment being picked was a disappointment. I agree with what Joe Morgan once said in that Ripken's continuous game played streak is one of the most overrated records in baseball.Morgan pointed out that Ripken often played injured or during severe batting slumps when he should have been benched.
The sad thing here is that Baseball cherishes its history but many of todays generation X,Y and Zers have no concept of history and live only in the now. Although this may not be their fault and have more to do with Mastercard and its relationship with Ripken.
I think Aaron's 715th should have got the nod as it was truly a historical moment. The truly most disapponting moment in Baseball history is Suttons election to the Hall of Fame. (I say this tounge n cheek)
