    Eddie had more Offensive value, Brooks More on Defense, but it is sure hard to beat a guy you can plug into the SS position for 15 years and be very good at both and never miss a game.

    George Brett, Roger Clemens and Tommy Brady.

    Jim Palmer.

    For all the good Ripken did I think "the streak" got to be a personal achievement and there were times he should have sat to help his team. His legacy wouldn't have been affected but "the streak" would have ended, so he continued.

    no Chris Davis?

    It's Ripken or Murray, and they're too close to call. With a gun to my head today, I'd take Murray but I might change my mind tomorrow.

    This is for you @thisistheshow - Jim Rice was actually a pretty good player.

    I have felt the same for years.

    I say Murray

    Their average seasons:

    1st line is Murray; 2nd line is Ripken:

    G PA AB R H 2B 3B HR RBI BB SO BA OBP SLG OPS OPS+ TB WAR
    162 619 544 83 160 28 2 26 94 68 75 .294 .37 .498 .868 139 271 4.9
    162 695 624 89 172 33 2 23 91 61 70 .276 .34 .447 .788 112 279 5.2

    Murray was no doubt the better hitter, but I think the question was who was the better player.

    This is for you @thisistheshow - Jim Rice was actually a pretty good player.
