Were you even listening to what he said, or did you immediately tune out after the mere mention of Cal Ripken's name?
All he did was point out a coincidence in the fact that his last game in the majors happened to also be the first game of Cal's streak. He didn't compare anything to anything. I thought it was a cool fact actually.
Yes, I listened to the entire piece. I don't believe I tuned out. To me a coincidence with Steve and Cal was pumping himself up. Kind of like comparing the end of one great athlete to the beginnings of the next great athlete. I am not trying to take anything away from Stone's career but this comparison was a bit much. Interesting fact by itself but overdone. That was my interpretation.
I didn't read it that way at all, not even close.
Especially at the end of the interview when Stone said "But that's baseball, Dan, players are always coming and going...." There are other things to point and roll your eyes at in that interview but this wasn't one of them.
That's two full time listeners. Fair enough. I probably missed it.
