Cal Ripken, Jr., famous BaltimoreOriole and the last professional sports person with a work ethic, has been elected into the Baseball Hall of Fame. No one deserves it more.
He may be great guy, but he did more to harm his ball club and stifle opportunity than one could ever imagine. Generally speaking, baseball players tend to loathe him more than admire. A work ethic is good, but overwork is self-abuse and neglect of others. After all, a man reaps what he sows. We should evaluate how traumatic has it been for his loved ones.
"Slavery ended in medieval Europe only because the church extended its sacraments to all slaves and then managed to impose a ban on the enslavement of Christians (and of Jews). Within the context of medieval Europe, that prohibition was effectively a rule of universal abolition. "— Rodney Stark

I didn't know his wife was ill. I'll pray for her. Thanks for letting us know.
