Kobe or Yogi..Ripken would be nothing without the streak. Guy cared more about the streak then winning games. Kobe and Yogi are winning players

jjgold · 02-21-18, 10:09 AM

Ripken played a lot of years just to break the record he was not good

rm18 · 02-21-18, 10:27 AM

Ripken a good defender only, average hitter who played a long time.

Hman · 02-21-18, 10:28 AM

Agree with Kobe

rm18 · 02-21-18, 10:42 AM

Plus he did all that playing every fuking day. I love Kobe but the hardest thing to do in sports is hit a baseball and Ripken did it well and never took days off. You will never, ever, ever see what he did again

Ovechkin ?

OK

Yogi was a great catcher

But 6 of his last 7 years were beyond sub par as he was platooning and that directly correlates with the integration of baseball at that time.

Cal has 2 MVPS and a ROY, 20 Plus seasons, literally was the face of Baltimore and baseball for 2 decades

Steve Young- no
Oveckin- no

Kobe- I believe played more games in 24 than 8, so we only look at 97-05 and we don't have enough to say that 8 years makes him all time.

rm18 · 02-21-18, 11:38 AM

Kobe played 10 years with each number, 3 titles

packerd_00 · 02-21-18, 11:48 AM

If Kobe stuck with the one number then fair enough.Id say Ripken Jr.

If you showed 100 drunks in a bar a picture of Oveckin, in his jersey, less than half could name him.

That same deal, with Cal, 90/100 get it right.

He put up HOF numbers in both, if he changed his name we could put him in two times

I don't give a shit mate,it would be like Micheal Jordan having two numbers or Tom Brady,every other legend is known for just the one number,and that's how it should be.
