We say happy birthday to the great Cal Ripken, Jr. who was born in Maryland on this day in 1960.
He will always be remembered for "the streak" but his career stats are worth recalling: 431 HRs, 1,695 RBI, 3,184 hits, 603 doubles and a .276 average. Cal was named Rookie of the Year in 1982, American League MVP in 1983 & 1991 and the Hall of Fame in 2007. And he was a great shortstop to go with it!
