CaolinaJoe Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 Gehrig "It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of thepress. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom ofspeech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given usthe freedom to demonstrate. And it is the soldier who salutes theflag, serves beneath the flag, whose coffin is draped by the flag, andwho allows the protester to burn the flag."Marine Chaplain Dennis Edward O' Brien Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoneranger Posted August 9, 2004 Author Share Posted August 9, 2004 No, no. I'm not saying this guy is Gehrig or Ripken, I'm saying that only Ripken and Gehrig were 'tougher" than this guy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CC97 Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 Let's go with... Carl Mays... the only player to actually kill another player during a MLB game. Now that's one tough bastard. --- Chris Creamer Founder/Editor, SportsLogos.Net "The Mothership" • News • Facebook • X/Twitter • Instagram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoneranger Posted August 9, 2004 Author Share Posted August 9, 2004 Everett 'Deacon" Scott led American League shortstops in fielding average for eight straight seasons (1916-23) and played 1,307 consecutive games, a streak record that Lou Gehrig would eventually demolish.Carl Mays had to live with the very sad fact that his fast-rising submarine ball had caused modern major league baseball's first fatality. Pitching for the Yankees on August 16, 1920, decades before the advent of the batting helmet, Mays cracked the skull of Cleveland's Ray Chapman; Chapman, crowding the plate, froze in the path of the pitch. He died the next day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
