Granted he did go to the Series early in his career and made the Playoffs after that at least once more, I just can't be impressed by a guy not skipping a day of "work" for 162 times a year. That still leaves 163 or 164 days that he is not at "work". Yes he is working out and playing Spring Training games during some of those games but even still that better not be the winner.
I wouldn't have a problem with Bobby Thomson's homer or Willie Mays' catch or something like winning but don't make it that Ripken game.

Cal Ripken's Game Streak.
I hate Cal Ripken - we had a huge argument the other night watching Game 1 of the WS. I hate that guy and I always will.
