Cal ripken is only a solid player, his daddy made sure to play him every game until he became a "legend".

Ripken played in 2,632 consecutive games but his father was the manager in just 169 of those. I know his dad was employed/loved by the organization but I can't see Earl Weaver (for one) letting someone else tell him what to do with his lineup. Is there more to this story that I don't know?

Pretty sure the title descibes every single one of my completely unfounded biases as legit.

Colored jerseys are shit.

White for home.

Grey/light blue for road.

Flat bill caps are shit.

Yankees won 12 consecutive world series games, 8 of 'em courtesy of the Braves.

Just saying.
8 ?

Yanks have beaten them 3 times in the WS.

MIL Braves beat them once in the WS.

Or were you referring to the Braves losing in the NLCS and then the Yanks beat whomever they, the Braves, lost to in the WS?
