Ripken: 148 hits, 29 2B, 2 3B, 20 HR, 2 SB, 2 CS, 52 BB, 16 DP

So, yeah, each Ripken would hit into 11 more double plays than each Coleman.
*Probably less than that since Ripken hit in the middle of the order with more men on base (more chances to hit into double plays) and Coleman hit at the top of the order with the pitcher and eight hitter in front of him (so, less opportunities to hit into double plays).

But
Each Coleman would get caught stealing 17 more times than each Ripken, basically negating the Ripken double plays.

A CS is less damaging than a DP. Plus the Ripkens' DP total would be even higher because every base runner would be Cal Ripken.
