I challenge anyone who knows baseball to put this question to 100 people who are not Baltimore or St. Louis fans:

If you were selecting your starting shortstop based only on his fielding ability, would you rather have Cal Ripkin Jr. or Ozzie Smith on your team?

I can guarantee you that no more than five of those 100 people would select Cal Ripkin, and after they came down off their crack high they'd wonder what the hell they were thinking.

Ozzie. In a heartbeat. And I've been rooting against the Cards since I was old enough to sit up and watch a game ;)
