"Before the 'Holy Trinity' (Jeter, Garciaparra and A-Rod) and subsequent statistical explosion, the Major League shortstop was known primarily as a glove man, someone who was going to scoop the ball up and chip in a few hits here and there. Two shortstops in particular came along in the nineties to break that mould, Cal Ripken, Jr. of the Orioles and John Valentin of the Boston Red Sox." - Blogger Cormac Eklof on Top 100 Red Sox (02/26/2007, '100 Greatest Red Sox >> #60 John Valentin, Source)
