In my opinion the only reason Ripke those milestones was because of the "iron man" streak. Regardless of what the record books say I will never view him as more durable than Gherig, not even close. Lowest BA in the 3000 hit club. Next closest was Rickey and he was a leadoff hitter. I don't give any weight to ASG appearances because it has turned into a popularity contest.
