If Ripken hadn't made it, it would be proof of an impending apocalypse to me. ;-)
I am very pleased for Gwynn as well. I have always been a fan of his and was lucky enough to see him play in one of his last seasons.
Congatulations to both of these fine athletes.
Ripken and Gwynn were pretty much no-brainers.

Who were the yo yo's that didn't have this guy on their ballots? What more do you need to do, MVP's, about 16 All Star selections, World Series title, consecutive games streak, as an infielder, and mostly shortstop? His resume stacks up pretty well against most of the better guys in the Hall.
