"One question I've been repeatedly asked these last few weeks is how do I want to be remembered. My answer is simple: To be remembered at all is pretty special. I might also add, that if I am remembered, I hope it's because by living my dream I was able to make a difference." - Cal Ripken, Jr. (ESPN Classic, Nick Acocella, 'Iron Man Ripken brought stability to shortstop', Source)
