Famous Quotes / Cal Ripken
Cal Ripken: "Parents see their pretty talented 7- or 8-year-old, and they immediately want to make him out to be the next Alex Rodriguez. They're seeing an end, and they think they're doing him a service by making him practice, buying a batting cage, not letting him play other sports. It's almost like the parents are seeing that as an investment, and I think that's counterproductive."
