Cal Ripken, Jr.'s induction into the Baseball Hall of Fame leads me to ask, "Are you a Hall of Fame Player?"
Ripken displayed a tremendous work ethic during a long career. He worked hard to prepare. He showed up game after game -- longer than any other player in baseball history. He redefined the position of shortstop. These qualities have earned him a place in Cooperstown.
In the game of citizenship, what kind of player are you? Do you prepare for elections -- researching candidates and positions? Do you show up election after election to vote and persuade others? Are you redefining the position with community involvement and activism?
Cal challenges us all.
